ConMet

ConMet has built on its success with PreSet hub technology by adding rotors to create a wheel end designed for optimal use on commercial vehicles with disc brakes.

Not only do our seals protect against contaminants, but they are also designed to better handle the punishment of the road. Multiple outside-diameter seal points provide a secure fit in the hub and thicker gauge steel protects against internal damage during installation. The high temperature HNBR rubber provides exceptional fluid-resistance. The result is a seal that is perfectly crafted for maximum wear resistance.

If you operate a commercial vehicle that was built in the last ten years, PreSet wheel hubs were likely installed as standard equipment. When it’s time for service, why not opt for genuine PreSet Rebuild Kits and bring them back to their PreSet factory settings?

The highly-controlled honed surface finish provides a 40% improvement over current industry standards. The surface finish improvements result in superior rolling contact and reduced friction leading to lower

PreSet hub assemblies include our own ConMet bearing spacer. It optimizes clamp load through its enhanced design, which maximizes performance and durability.

TruTurn Brake Drums are precision-machined inside and out, which improves drum strength by eliminating the need for weld-on weights and balance cuts. Not only are these drums stronger, but they offer advantages such as better thermal expansion for reduced brake pulsing, and improved heat transfer, so the drum and its lining stay cool. With each stop, TruTurn brake drums maintain lower temperature rises, extending durability, and improving brake performance.

ConMet TruTurn Lite brake drums provide all of the benefits of TruTurn, but in a lightweight package. TruTurn Lite drums are up to 10% lighter than standard drums. How did we do it? We started with a design that maximizes stiffness, but uses less material. We then applied the proven TruTurn “turned-to-balance” manufacturing process. The result is a lightweight drum that will perform mile after mile.

ConMet is known throughout the transportation industry for innovating superior wheel-end solutions. We’ve developed technologies to withstand harsh road conditions, poor weather and frequent braking, and we know the vital role wheel seals play in the overall protection of the hub. If a seal fails, you can be sure that vehicle downtime and expensive repairs are not far behind. Damage to the seal during installation is the most frequent cause of premature seal failure. In order to avoid installation damage and ensure your hubs operate at optimal levels, you need the best seals on the market.

ConMet’s Cast Iron Brake Drums are available for a wide range of heavy-duty vehicle applications. Rigorous specifications and precision machining eliminate vibrations and ensure optimum performance, longer brake service life, and better overall ride.

We have engineered our own tapered roller bearings to extend life and improve efficiency even in the most aggressive heavy truck applications. ConMet Bearings are superior to standard bearings because they are designed for optimized contact and reduced stress concentration, resulting in better rolling contact and less friction.
