IDENTIFY ABOVE NORMAL WHEEL END OPERATING TEMPERATURES BEFORE THEY CAUSE EXPENSIVE REPAIRS!!  The normal operating temperature of hub/hubcap grease or oil should not exceed 225 ⁰ F (107 ⁰ C).  HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ will alert you to above normal wheel end operating temperature!

 HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ heat sensing label will turn BLACK when hub/hubcap surface temperature reaches 250 ⁰ F (121 ⁰ C).  HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ indicates the need for a more detailed inspection of the overheating wheel end. Normal Operating Temperature Needs Detailed Inspection

HUB ALERT HUB ALERT ™ can reduce the risk of dangerous and costly wheel separation from bearing failure!  Bearing failure is the 2 nd largest cause of wheel separation (26%) after wheel fastener issues. Source: Proceeding of the Canadian Multidisciplinary Road Safety Conference XIV; June 27-30, 2004; Ottawa, Ontario

Proper Wheel Bearing Installation and Maintenance is Critical for Preventing Bearing Failure.  Requires following a precise installation procedure for proper adjustment.  Wheel bearings must be properly lubricated.  Wheel ends must be inspected regularly for lubricant leaks.  Inspection for damaged seals and hubcaps is necessary.

Frequent Hub Cap and Hub Inspection by Driver and Maintenance Staff is the Solution to Lower Maintenance Costs!  $300-$500 replace bearings, seal, oil/grease, labor.  $1200-$1500 to repair axle damage / stub axle.  $500 minimum roadside wrecker / service call. HUB ALERT HUB ALERT ™ provides convenient, accurate hub and hub cap monitoring by drivers and maintenance staff.

Features:  Hi-tech sensor integrated with a weather resistant adhesive label  Thermosensitive area is hermetically sealed against moisture, oil, grease, fuels, solvents, water and steam  Easy to install and Highly visible for quick problem detection  Sensor area activates immediately as surface temperature reaches threshold level

Features:  Sensor accurately identifies overheated hub/hubcap surfaces  Adhesive attaches label to hub/hubcap and is highly effective in resisting displacement from environmental conditions  Remains attached during maintenance procedures including high pressure spray washing of wheels.  Independently tested for both Temperature Activation and Adhesion Effectiveness.

Benefits:  Early alert to overheating wheel end issues  Indicates possible overheating bearings  Identifies potential leaking seals  Indicates possible over heating brake conditions

Benefits:  Preventative maintenance reduces potentially expensive repairs  Avoidance of over the road emergency repairs  Eliminates expensive repair and replacement due to component failure.  Routine daily inspection prevents potential wheel end problems and equipment downtime.

How It Works:  Normal wheel end operating temperatures of Hub or Hubcap oil should not exceed 225 ⁰ F. HUB ALERT  The HUB ALERT ™ sensor has a preset 250 ⁰ F temperature threshold at which the sensor will activate.

How It Works:  HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ will commence activation when hub or hubcap surface temperatures reach between 245 ⁰ F and 250 ⁰ F.  When the surface temperature reaches the 250 ⁰ F threshold temperature the WHITE sensor area turns BLACK.

How It Works: HUB ALERT  Activation of HUB ALERT ™ indicates that the wheel end operating temperature is above the normal operating level and a more 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 is provided. HUB ALERT  After identifying and resolving the overheating issue, a replacement HUB ALERT ™ needs to be installed for continued monitoring of the wheel end temperature.

INDEPENDENTLY TESTED: Exova, a global provider of laboratory testing, advising and assuring services was selected to perform 2 test studies: HUB ALERT  Temperature Activation of HUB ALERT ™ Heat Sensing Labels (EXOVA REPORT NUMBER C0165B Revision 1) HUB ALERT  Adhesion Effectiveness of HUB ALERT ™ Heat Sensing Labels (EXOVA REPORT NUMBER C0165A Revision 1)

Temperature Activation: Three sets of Temperature Activation Tests were conducted as follows: HUB ALERT 1.Temperature activation of 5 HUB ALERT ™ labels attached to a steel hub and hub cap. HUB ALERT 2.Temperature activation of 3 HUB ALERT ™ labels attached to a plastic hub cap. HUB ALERT 3.Temperature activation of 3 HUB ALERT ™ labels attached to an aluminum hub cap.

Temperature Activation Procedure:  Prior to application, surfaces were pre-cleaned with degreaser and/or sandpaper as required.  Hub and hubcaps were filled with hub oil and surface temperature was recorded.  Oil was heated gradually with a heat probe and surface temperatures were monitored. HUB ALERT  Temperature at which initial HUB ALERT ™ activation occurred was recorded. HUB ALERT  Temperature at which full activation of HUB ALERT ™ occurred (sensor area turned BLACK) was recorded.

Temperature Activation Results: HUB ALERT HUB ALERT ™ temperature activation occurred at the preset threshold temperature of 250⁰F within the acceptable specification variance of plus or minus 2.5%  Plastic hub cap activation 244⁰F to 246⁰F  Aluminum hub cap activation 246⁰F to 248⁰F  Steel hub and hub cap activation 246⁰F to 252⁰F

Adhesion Effectiveness: Three sets of Adhesion Effectiveness Tests were Conducted as follows: 1.Pressure Washing Resistance after overnight conditioning at ambient laboratory temperature 2.Pressure Washing Resistance after overnight conditioning at 225 ⁰F 3.Pressure Washing Resistance after overnight conditioning at -25 ⁰F

Adhesion Effectiveness Procedure:  Prior to application, surfaces were pre-cleaned with degreaser and/or sandpaper as required.  HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ heat sensing labels were applied to a Plastic hub cap, Aluminum hub cap and a Steel hub and hub.  After conditioning the hub and hubcaps to specified temperatures water pressure at 2,000 psi was sprayed from 12 inches onto the heat sensing labels.  HUB ALERT  HUB ALERT ™ labels were subjected to constant pressure for 3 seconds using multiple “pass by strokes”.

Adhesion Effectiveness Results: HUB ALERT All HUB ALERT ™ heat sensing labels successfully resisted lifting, loosening or washout during the 2,000 psi pressure spraying at ambient temperature (81 ⁰ F), extreme heat conditions (225 ⁰ F) and severe cold temperature (-25 ⁰ F).  “Regarding the pressure washing resistance tests performed after conditioning at ambient temperature (27 ⁰C, 81 ⁰ F), none of the labels applied to the aluminum, plastic and steel hubs exhibited any visible loss of adhesion after spraying, nor any other visible signs of deterioration.”

Adhesion Effectiveness Results:  “Regarding the pressure washing resistance tests performed after conditioning at hot temperature (107 ⁰C, 225⁰ F), none of the labels applied to the aluminum, plastic and steel hubs exhibited any visible loss of adhesion after spraying, nor any other visible signs of deterioration.”  “Regarding the pressure washing resistance tests performed after conditioning at cold temperature (-32 ⁰C, -25 ⁰ F), none of the labels applied to the aluminum, plastic and steel hubs exhibited any visible loss of adhesion after spraying, nor any other visible signs of deterioration.”
