Wheelbearings

Each and every one of our products is developed and manufactured according to the highest quality standards. With modern CAD systems we design new solutions. After that, current procedures of precision manufacture and quality assurance are next in process.

When wheel bearings wear out, they can have a significant impact on vehicle performance, leading to increased friction and resistance within the wheel assembly. This extra friction forces the engine to work harder to maintain the same speed, resulting in decreased fuel efficiency. Additionally, worn bearings can cause uneven tire wear, as the compromised alignment and stability of the wheels lead to irregular contact with the road surface. Hitting a pothole or other road hazard can exacerbate bearing damage, potentially causing sudden bearing failure and loss of vehicle control. The deterioration of wheel bearings also affects the proper transfer of torque from the engine to the wheels, further compromising handling and increasing braking distance.

Unusual Noises Coming From the Wheels. Listen carefully. The most common and often most-identifiable symptom associated with a bad wheel bearing is noise coming from the wheel or tire area of the moving vehicle. You may mistake this as engine noise, but when you listen closely you will likely hear grinding or grating that gets louder as the vehicle accelerates. Since wheel bearings are not known for wearing out too frequently, the noise is typically suspected to be something else and the problem gets overlooked.

HYDROKOMP is the right supplier for companies of mechanical engineering fixture construction, tooling and many other branches of industry worldwide. Constructive ideas and customer-specific designs are our particular strengths.

A: Typically, wheel bearings last between 85,000 to 100,000 miles, but this can vary based on driving conditions and maintenance.

Chances are when you start hearing a loud noise from under the hood of your car as you’re driving, you automatically think it’s an exhaust leak or your car is going to break at any moment. But have you thought about the possibility of a broken — or nearly broken — wheel bearing causing that noise?

A: Driving with a bad wheel bearing is dangerous as it can lead to wheel failure and accidents. It should be addressed immediately.

Tire Wear and Tear. What about your tires? We all know the importance of rotating your tires to promote even wear, but did you know a broken wheel bearing can lead to uneven tire wear too? The looseness of the wheel and the vibration that reverberates through the wheel cause your tires to wear unevenly, meaning you are more likely to have to invest in new tires sooner.

Coupling mechanism board, which locks both components for pressure transfer. Both tension rods are inserted into the bayonet catch. Then the levers are turned to the side by 90°. Through two integrated drafts the tension rods are shortened and the coupling process is executed. The locking stroke is 5 mm.

When you bring your family’s car to Wiygul Automotive Clinic, we take your trust in us seriously. We take the time to get to know you and your vehicle. In addition, we will send you service reminders and maintain service records that help keep your car’s factory warranty valid - which means you don’t have to go to the dealer for service.

We want to take the stress out of getting your vehicle serviced. We’ll never talk down to you or pressure you, but we will be completely thorough honest about what your car does need - specifically noting anything that could be a safety issue.

A safety holder with an inductive proximity switch is optional available for the double-acting coupling system. The safety retainer keeps the coupling mechanism board in the decoupled state into a parking station. Through the integrated proximity switch the safety holder can be directly connected with the machine control. With that, the pallet transport is only permitted in decoupled state. With the help of a equalizer valve in the coupling nipple of the T-port the pressure rise is limited to about 5 bar in decoupled state, eg. when a leakage in the system occurs. For coupling and uncoupling of the coupling nipple unit and the coupling mechanism board both hydraulic lines must be depressurized by the hydraulic valves.

Car Feels Loose. Does your car feel loose? When you hear professional drivers talk about a “loose” car, you may not know what that means. It often refers to the steering of the vehicle, which can include wheel bearings. Wheel looseness, or also called wheel play, is another common symptom of a bad wheel bearing. As the bearing begins to wear down, they become loose inside the wheel hub and spindle, which makes your vehicle feel loose while steering.

Founded 1998, HYDROKOMP designs, manufactures and distributes hydraulic components, coupling systems and clamping technology for mechanical engineering, fixture construction, tooling and many other branches of industry also for different operating conditions.

Through the integrated proximity switch the safety holder can be directly connected to the machine control. So, the pallet transport is only permitted in uncoupled state.

Manual coupling systems are applied with machine tools that operate with hydraulic fixtures but do not have a standard equipment of a hydraulic interface for oil supply to the fixture pallet. The operating personnel take care of coupling and decoupling. In contrast to quick-locking couplings, manual couplings do not bear the danger of mixing up pressure line and tank line. Also, the coupling process is made much faster. After clamping the workpiece it is easy to unclamp the system without effort by the use of a hydraulically piloted check valve. Also the system pressure remains. To unclamp the system the T-port must be pressurized. At the single-acting coupling system the ball valve takes this feature.

If you suspect you are driving with a broken — or nearly broken — wheel bearing, stop in and see us today. Our team of trained technicians will quickly assess and repair your vehicle and have you back on the road in no time!

Required safety elements are already integrated. These include one hydraulic accumulator, one check valve and one pressure relief valve which protects the hydraulic accumulator from a pressure rise over 10%. The coupling unit can be equipped with two different hydraulic accumulators. HYDROKOMP recommend the accumulator with 13 cm³ nominal volume up to an oil volume of approx. 100 cm³ in the fixture. When the required oil volume is larger, the hydraulic accumulator with 40 cm³ nominal volume should be applied. The hydraulic accumulators are subject to technical rules for pressure vessels. As standard the manual coupling systems are equipped with manifold and G1/4 threaded ports for oil supply. All flange-on surfaces have O-ring counter-bores on the bottom and on the rear side, which also allow oil supply without pipes through drilled ducts.

Vehicle Pulling to One Side While Driving. Are you doing the steering, or is the car driving where it wants to? When a wheel bearing corrodes or becomes pitted, the smooth exterior lining is gone and the vibration is transmitted to the tires which may feel like it is “pulling” to one side or the other. As the bearing on one side deteriorates, it puts more pressure on the opposite bearing, leading to uneven wear and increased friction. This uneven wear generates heat, which further accelerates the degradation of the bearing. As a result, the affected wheel may start to wobble or vibrate, robbing the vehicle of its stability and smooth handling, especially when cornering or driving at higher speeds.

You can rely on our promise of honesty and competence when we service your vehicle. Our customers know that they will get a fair price for services provided.

A: Common causes include poor maintenance, water and dirt contamination, extreme driving conditions, and manufacturing defects.

A: While possible, replacing a wheel bearing requires specific tools and expertise. It’s recommended to seek professional help for accurate installation.

Wheel bearings are essential in the operation of your vehicle. More precisely, a wheel bearing is crucial for the proper function of the hub, tire, and wheel assemblies to work together. The wheel bearing allows friction-free movement and rotation of the hub assembly, and thereby provides smooth tire and wheel rotation. Worn-out or damaged wheel bearings can lead to a range of problems that affect vehicle performance and safety, making it essential for drivers to recognize the signs of trouble.
