Normal wheel end operating temperatures of Hub or Hubcap oil should not exceed 225⁰F. Hub Alert™ will commence activation when surface temperatures reach between 245⁰F and 250⁰F.

 

The Hub Alert™ heat sensing label has a hermetically sealed area housing a thermosensitive sensor. The heat sensing label monitors the surface temperature of the hub or hubcap on which it is placed.

 

The sensor has a preset 250⁰F temperature threshold at which the sensor will turn BLACK indicating above normal operating temperature. As the surface temperature approaches the threshold temperature the sensor area begins an initial activation turning grey in color and finally BLACK when the threshold temperature has been reached and full activation is completed.

 

Activation of the Hub Alert™ heat sensing label indicates that the wheel end operating temperature is above the normal operating temperature and a detailed inspection is required. The heat sensing area of the label remains BLACK until it is replaced. By remaining BLACK even after the wheel end has cooled down, a continuous alert to an above normal operating temperature condition at the wheel end is provided to both Drivers and Maintenance staff.

 

After identifying and resolving the overheating issue, a replacement Hub Alert™ needs to be installed for continued monitoring of the wheel end temperature.

 

The Hub Alert™ heat sensing label can be installed on any truck, bus or trailer hubs and hubcaps. The aggressive adhesive backing of the heat sensing label ensures that Hub Alert™ remains securely attached to plastic, aluminum and steel hubcaps and to steel hubs.
