SKF Vehicle Aftermarket will offer customers a glimpse of its latest wheel end products and innovations in booth #1019 at the upcoming Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) 2023 – the largest gathering of independent heavy-duty aftermarket professionals in North America. Hosted at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas from Jan. 16 to 19, HDAW draws an annual attendance of more than 2,500 industry-leading personnel for a week of networking, market strategies, and product reveals.
Among the products on display at this year's show is SKF's advanced line of hubodometers (designed in partnership with Dynapar Corporation), featuring unsurpassed performance, reliability, and accuracy. In addition, the company will feature TraX wheel end monitor, a compact sensor unit that intelligently monitors vibrations and easily detects damage to truck and trailer wheel bearings. Medium Duty rear wheel hubs, the industry's first integrated, preassembled unit of its kind, and SKF Brakemaster air dryers, a revolutionary, high-performance solution for maintaining vehicle brake systems, will be prominently featured in SKF booth #1019 as well. SKF also plans to showcase the next generation of wheel end assembly with the fully loaded trailer wheel hub, a powerful proprietary technology that is the lightest and most durable wheel hub in the trailer industry. Also on display will be re-engineered hubcaps, Scotseal X-Treme, and SKF tapered roller bearings.
As part of their ongoing partnership, SKF will offer customers a sneak peek of Lincoln Industrial's latest innovations in industrial lubrication technology at HDAW. This includes the 20-V Li-ion Powerluber, optimized for incredible performance with up to 10,000 PSI dispensing pressure, and the Stationary RAM pump, built for challenging oil applications and easy operation. Lincoln's Mityvac line of evacuators/dispensers featuring advanced pressure control systems will also be on display at the SKF booth.
