Pinion-Pac™ is a ready-to-install, pre-sealed, pre-set tapered roller bearing unit that simplifies axle assembly and improves system performance in light duty automotive applications. Customers rely on Pinion-Pac for improved gear reliability and bearing life; reduced noise, vibration and harshness (NVH); reduced weight and fewer warranty claims.
Design Attributes:
Tighter manufacturing tolerances provide better concentricity and optimum bearing setting for improved gear mesh contact and longer bearing life.
Stiff design reduces deflection at the gear mesh point during dynamic loading conditions, improving gear reliability.
Compact design can result in an overall weight reduction of up to 15 percent – translating into better handling and increased fuel efficiency.
Self-contained package reduces the need for bearing assembly tooling and can eliminate 45 percent of the components that need stocked for conventional designs.
Improved concentricity of the seal riding surface on the bearing inner race results in less seal wear, reducing warranty claims.
Package design simplifies axle repair — maintenance shops can keep fewer replacement parts on hand and technicians will spend less time on installation.
Applications:
Light trucks and sport utility vehicles (original equipment)
