Gunite LMS Hubs Avert Improper Installation

Gunite Corp has introduced LMS hubs that incorporate a structural design and advanced metallurgy to provide advantages of Gunite's standard ductile hubs with the added benefits of a unitized design. Factory-assembled and preloaded to exacting tolerances, Gunite LMS hubs eliminate problems associated with improper field installation of bearings.

LMS hubs also eliminate premature seal failures. Traditional bearing replacements can result in improper loading of the hub/bearing assembly. Either over- or under-torquing of the assembly will cause premature seal failure. This problem can cause contamination of brake components and lead to premature bearing failure. Because LMS hubs are assembled in a controlled factory environment, seals are protected from damage caused by over- or undertorquing. This reduces the potential for problems caused by leaking wheel seals.

LMS drive hubs are available with a drive flange oil fill design. This allows use of lubricants compatible with popular differential lubricants. Hubs are backed by a three-year, 350,000-mile warranty.
