Save Time and Money With Hub Alert™ Heat Sensing Labels
Spectra Products Inc. introduces Hub Alert™ heat sensing labels, the early warning system that will alert you to above normal wheel end operating temperature. The inexpensive labels have been independently laboratory tested and are a maintenance tool and a safety product long overdue in the transportation industry.
The normal temperature of hubcap grease or oil should not get above 225⁰F (107⁰C). Dana and Meritor both recommend that when the temperature reaches 250⁰F (121⁰C) there is a need to do a more detailed wheel end inspection.
Hub Alert™ will indicate the need for a more detailed inspection of the overheating wheel end. Catching bearing / seal issues early will reduce the need for over the road emergency repairs and will avoid additional costly repairs due to a failure.
The Hub Alert™ thermosensitive area is hermetically sealed against moisture, oil, grease, fuels, solvents, water and steam.
The Hub Alert™ sensor decal will turn BLACK once the hub/hubcap surface has reached the critical temperature. Maintenance staff and drivers are now alerted to the need for a more detailed inspection to identify causes for the above normal wheel end operating temperature.
A new Hub Alert™ heat sensing label is applied to the hubcap after the above normal heating issue has been resolved.
Independent Laboratory Testing
Independent laboratory tests were conducted on a steel hub and on aluminum, plastic and steel hubcaps.
- The first test was for temperature activation. Testing was undertaken to ensure that the label activated at the temperature indicated and did not activate at lower temperatures
- The second test was for adhesion effectiveness. Using high pressure water spray, the adhesion quality of the label was pressure tested at both extreme hot and cold temperatures
