A.B.S. wheel bearing kits of the Dutch manufacturer All Brake Systems are popular amongst European car owners for a few years now. These components were added into the assortment of the company in 2010. They belong to the mid-price segment. Nowadays, the company's catalogue presents spare parts for various European, American and Asian cars.

Types

According to the quantity of the bearing races, the bearing, included into A.B.S. wheel hub kits, can be:

• Single-row. They are installed in pairs only. They require adjustment of the expansion gap. They have an open design, that is why they need to be relubricated regularly. Gland seals should be used to keep lubricant inside the unit.
• Double-row. They have an outer and two inner races. In such components the lubricant is put at the factory and it is designated for the whole operational lifetime of the part. The parts mounting process is rather laborious, however, they are considered more reliable.

According to the rolling elements type there are:

• Roller. They withstand high loads and are more durable. They require special caution during installation, as there is a risk to damage the part in case of excessive force when tightening.
• Ball. They have high ability to self-align. They are notable for minimal friction loss. They operate noiselessly; allow insignificant tilt of the inner race in relation to the outer one.

In addition, the components can be provided as a single unit or separate part, depending on the car suspension type. The latter are used less often in modern cars, as they have big dimensions and heavy weight; also they are less durable.

4 facts about A.B.S. wheel bearing kit

1. Modern technologies of metals production and processing, used during manufacturing of the parts, allow to reduce the amount of non-metallic inclusions in the material composition to minimum. This ensures high resistance to vibrations and impacts of the races and rolling elements thus increasing its lifetime.
2. The high-strength cages made of polyamide, reinforced with fiberglass, or steel, are notable for resistance to destruction and deformation even under the extremely high loads.
3. The material, used for lubricating contacting parts preserves the operational properties at both low and high temperatures – from −30 to 150 °C. It provides maximum protection of contacting surfaces from abrasion, overheating and corrosion.
4. Two- and three-lip seals are responsible for high quality sealing. They keep lubricant inside of the part, preventing its components wear-out due to dry friction, and protecting the unit from ingress of moisture and dirt.
