SOUTHFIELD, MI — The National heavy duty wheel end brand from Federal-Mogul has expanded its extensive line of commercial-vehicle solutions with a complete offering of Everlok/Axilok unitized spindle nuts for steer, drive and trailer axles. The one-piece Everlok/Axilok assembly replaces conventional two- and three-piece systems for faster, more accurate bearing adjustment and reduced maintenance.
The National heavy duty product line represents a comprehensive wheel end package for fleets and other commercial vehicle operators targeting superior performance and minimal vehicle downtime. Other National heavy duty wheel end products include premium “Gold” (38 Series) and “Red” (37 Series) wheel end seals, matched wheel bearing sets, through-hardened trailer bearings, all-in-one differential and transmission rebuild kits and National hub caps. Federal-Mogul also offers a complete line of premium Abex commercial friction products for medium and heavy duty applications.
The new Everlok/Axilok nuts are available for spindle sizes ranging from 1.500 to 3.480 inches and cover most common Meritor D Flat, Eaton, Ford, N Series, R Series and P Series axle applications.
Featuring a dual-clip positive locking fastener for added joint security, Everlok/Axilok unitized spindle nuts are designed to help minimize wheel-end maintenance by enabling fast, easy and repeatable bearing end-play adjustment to within .002-inch tolerance. According to Federal-Mogul, precise control of end-play is a key contributor to extended life of wheel end seals, bearings and tires and helps eliminate downtime caused by common ABS system faults.
