STEMCO, an Enpro company and manufacturer of heavy-duty components as well as solutions for commercial vehicles, launched its new Auto-Torq™ axle fastener. This advanced wheel end product recently made its debut at the Technology & Maintenance Council’s (TMC) Annual Meeting & Transportation Technology Exhibition in Orlando.
STEMCO designed Auto-Torq to streamline wheel end installation by eliminating the need for complex processes and specialty tools. Further, with no need for washers, clips, snap rings, screws, or keepers, Auto-Torq makes installation simple and efficient. Additionally, applying the optimum clamp load on the bearings every time minimizes bearing wear, resulting in longer bearing service life.
Auto-Torq offers an all-in-one solution compatible with any industry hub manufacturer. By reducing potential causes of installation failure, operators can have peace of mind knowing components are installed securely in place. Also, when combined with STEMCO’s industry-leading seals, bearings, and hubcaps, customers can benefit from extended warranties on their wheel ends.
“We’re proud to announce the launch of Auto-Torq, a product that reflects our deep commitment to ‘Making the Roadways Safer,’” says Chip Stuhr, vice president and general manager of STEMCO. “This is one of the most revolutionary products in our long history of innovation, and we are excited for the impact it will have on the industry.”
