It was in 1995 when Consolidated Metco (ConMet) introduced the PreSet® hub assembly to the heavy duty truck industry in order to address the changing needs of truck OEM's and fleets Fast forward 16 years and ConMet is doing it again with PreSet Plus™, the next generation of wheel end technology.
ConMet builds on PreSet's success of reducing wheel end maintenance by adding features that make PreSet Plus the most advanced hub assembly on the market to address the requirements of today's heavy duty trucks and trailers. They include:
- A new integrated spindle nut design simplifies installation, protects components during installation and removal, and aids in removal of the assembly during service.
- The patent pending nut also increases clamp, improves safety, and eliminates adjustments required to engage a locking ring.
- A new bearing spacer has been optimized for the PreSet Plus system to accommodate the higher clamp loads.
"We wanted to set the bar even higher when it comes to wheel hub technology," explained Mark Wagner, VP&GM of ConMet's Wheel End Division. "PreSet Plus provides OEM's with a product that is even easier to install and makes it a whole lot easier for technicians to service."
"While PreSet took the difficult task of bearing adjustment out of the hands of installers," notes Wagner, "PreSet Plus goes a step further by providing a self-piloting assembly that only requires the integrated nut to be torqued and a retaining snap ring to be engaged."
