- Use with crossbar V3871
- Lightweight plastic box
- Maximum loading capacity: 90 kg
- Modular system
- Interlocking modular tool system! As the base component, the crossbar can be used universally and combined with all pressure feet from the VIGOR product range. The crossbar is additionally equipped with an inside thread so that the cylinder can be screwed in to be able to carry out printing work (e.g. pressing out the drive shaft). The width of all pairs of installation and removal pressure feet can be individually adjusted and adapted on the crossbar. This flexibility, in combination with the correct pair of pressure feet, guarantees a universal tool set for all wheel bearing types currently available on the market
Design of Generation 3 wheel bearing
- Screwed Generation 3 wheel bearings are improved versions of the first and second generation wheel bearings. Due to various optimisations, these wheel bearings offer more complex functionalities. Maintenance and repairs are to be carried out with care and professional tools
- Generation 3 screwed wheel bearings have two flanges. One flange serves as a wheel hub, the second is used to fix the bearing unit to the axle carrier. The wheel bearing is a compact and efficiently built unit and therefore cannot be split
- Particularly in the case of aluminium steering knuckles, the bearing unit and steering knuckle may suffer severe corrosion. Without the suitable tool, damage will occur to the steering knuckle during removal
- A distinction is made between triple or quadruple screwed wheel bearings
Step by step – split, screwed wheel bearings
- Generation 3 wheel bearings require special pressure feet which are perfectly tailored to the fit of the bearing. If the pressure feet are not the right fit, power transmission is not possible because there is not enough contact surface
- Before the bearing is pressed out, the screws between the wheel bearing unit and the steering knuckle at the rear must be removed
- In the next step, the pressure feet are centred with the crossbar. The same distances between the pressure feet must be observed
- The hydraulic cylinder or spindle can then be inserted and pushed through the crossbar and the bearing. The matching conical pressure piece is placed on the cylinder from the rear and locked with the lock nut. Now the bearing can be pressed out using a hydraulic pump
Screwed wheel bearings with 3 or 4 bolts
Screwed wheel bearings of Generation 3 are usually installed in aluminium steering knuckles. This type of wheel bearing is installed as a compact unit. One flange serves as a wheel hub, the other fixes the bearing unit to the axle carrier
- Insert measurement / drawer size: M (282 x 393 mm)
