Product Features:
- Allows the same configuration to be used on driven and non-driven wheels, replacing the conventional 4×2 (dead) spindle.
- Features an advanced sensor and sensor technology for superb performance.
- Holds bearing setting more consistently than traditional thread and nut designs. The resulting system stiffness reduces rotor run-out and improves brake performance.
- Reduces weight by up to 20% per assembly compared to conventional wheel end solutions.
- Features an active sensor capable of sensing down to zero speed. Sensor’s speed information can be used for vehicle dynamics control systems, speed control, speedometer, odometer, trip computer and other purposes.
