STEMCO, an Enpro company and manufacturer of heavy-duty components and solutions for commercial vehicles, launched the Discover XR wheel seal. This advanced wheel seal solution was previously only available as a part of the Trifecta pre-adjusted hub assembly. But it is now available as a standalone product.
The Discover XR seal features exclusive GlideLock technology that eliminates installation issues by reducing installation force by 50%. And there is no prelube required. This helps address key concerns surrounding seal failure, including cocked seals and excessive heat generation.
The seal also offers easy removal without tools while exhibiting strong locking with its patented “SMART” anti-rotation features. Additionally, a four-zone labyrinth protects the seal, providing excellent contamination exclusion that reduces wear and extends seal life.
“At STEMCO, we pride ourselves as being the ultimate industry partner when it comes to wheel ends, and this Discover XR seal continues that vision,” says Chip Stuhr, vice president and general manager of STEMCO. “It meets the demands and challenges of the commercial trucking industry, extending the life of vehicles and components, and ultimately making the roadways safer.”
STEMCO encourages customers to install the Discover XR seal with other components to enable the Platinum Performance System™ three-year warranty. This system combines the Discover XR or Guardian® HP seal, the Pro-Torq® or Zip-Torq® nut, and the Sentinel® hub cap.
