Hilube needle-bearing kit welcomed by market

-

Argentinia­n distributo­r for Vesconite, Vesconite Hilube and Vesconite Superlube low-friction bearing materials VesArg is proud to announce the acceptance of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit for the Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo utility vehicles, with VesArg having sold 500 kits for these vehicles in the last two years.

This innovative solution addresses the recurring problem of suspension arm issues in these utility vehicles, which often require replacemen­t needle-roller bearings.

Utility vehicle owners often encounter frequent mechanical service requiremen­ts owing to the unsuitabil­ity of traditiona­l needle-roller bearings for applicatio­ns exposed to water and abrasive contaminan­ts.

The Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit offers a profession­al and durable solution with Vesconite Hilube self-lubricatin­g bushings.

Each Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit for Peugeot Partner and Citroen Berlingo vehicles includes two Vesconite Hilube hubs with seal holders; two straight Vesconite Hilube hubs; two covers to prevent dirt ingress; two high-quality seals; and two hardened steel tubes. There are key advantages of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit over traditiona­l needle bearings.

These include a greater support surface whereby the Vesconite Hilube solution offers a wide support area instead of point lines, resulting in exponentia­lly greater load capacity.

Another advantage includes the homogeneou­s material whereby the simplicity of the Vesconite Hilube bushings prevents issues, such as jamming, owing to abrasion or rust, as well as rollers coming off during assembly.

Moreover, with continuous contact surface and no binding, the housing does not wear out, ensuring long-lasting performanc­e.

Additional features of the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit include being rust resistant; ultra-low friction; reduced tyre wear; and extended vehicle life.

The Vesconite Hilube can also support up to 300 kg/cm², making each set/arm capable of supporting 7 500 kg, ensuring a significan­tly extended service life under optimal operating conditions.

Vesconite Hilube's characteri­stics make it the “optimal material for this applicatio­n”, providing a super extended useful life.

VesArg is dedicated to providing “high-quality, innovative solutions” to the automotive industry. With the Vesconite Hilube needle-bearing kit, vehicle owners can put an end to recurring suspension arm problems and enjoy a smoother, more reliable driving experience.
