R-Line Hub Assemblies
Raybestos offers three generations of wheel hub assembly units. Each unit is designed to OE specifications and is tested for:
- Endurance
- Temperature control
- Hydraulic and salt resistance
- Metallurgical integrity and vibration
This ensures that our hub assemblies deliver an extended service life and a performance that is:
- Quiet
- Safe
- Consistent
Generation 1
The first step in hub development, Generation 1 consists of a double row contact ball bearing with a split inner ring. The split inner ring allows each ball bearing to rotate independently. Generation 1 does not include a hub, which must be purchased separately.
Features:
- Tapered or ball design
- Double row bearing with angular bearing contact for axial stability
- Pre-lubricated with an integral lifetime seal
Benefits:
- Maintenance free
- Maximized bearing life
- No preloading required
- Compact size
Generation 2
Our next step in hub development, Generation 2 adds a flange that mounts directly to the brake and wheel mount. This eliminates the need for purchasing a separate hub, unlike Generation 1.
Features:
- Flange for wheel and brake rotor attachment
- Tapered or ball design
- Double row bearing with angular bearing contact for axial stability
- Pre-lubricated with an integral lifetime seal
- Integral ABS sensor included with some applications
Benefits:
- Simplified installation
- Requires no adjustment
- Maintenance free
- Maximized bearing life
- No preloading required
- Compact size
Generation 3
Generation 3, our most advanced step in hub development, offers a complete wheel hub assembly. Generation 3 differs from Generation 2 by adding a second flange that fixes the hub assembly to the suspension.
Features:
- Two flanges
- One for wheel and brake rotor attachment
- One for fixing the unit to the suspension
- Integral ABS sensor is included with most applications
- Tapered or ball design
- Double row bearing with angular bearing contact for axial stability
- Pre-lubricated with an integral lifetime seal
Benefits:
- Simplified installation
- Requires no adjustment
- Maintenance free
- Maximized bearing life
- No preloading required
- Compact size
