Hub bearings

SKF Automotive announced its new Hub Bearing Unit (HBU) wheel bearing. It has a blend of two different types of rolling bearings in one unit, a unique combination of ball and tapered roller elements. The design provides greater strength and is 10 per cent lighter than conventional wheel bearings. The HBU Ball/Taper Wheel Bearing features low friction capabilities, designed to support the demands of EV pickup trucks and vans, which require low friction and high-speed capabilities.
