View Products01. Engine
The engine’s primary role is power generation. Today’s engines are still lubricated with oil to reduce friction and wear and extend your engine life.
02. Clutch throw-out bearings
Clutch throw out bearings allow the driver to disconnect the engine from the transmission and change gears. Lubrication is still essential to protect against friction, heat and rust in this part.
03. Engine radiator
The engine radiator cools the engine and ensures it operates at peak efficiency. The modern radiator still does not require lubrication but is important to extending your engine life.
04. Transmission
Most modern vehicles have automatic transmissions, which shift gears automatically based on speed and engine load. Lubrication is essential to modern transmissions for them to run smoothly, reduce friction, and prevent wear and corrosion.
05. Greasing points
In most modern vehicles, the chassis and its greasing points are sealed closed with permanent lubricating parts.
06. Steer axle wheel bearings
Steer axle wheel bearings reduce friction and heat to ensure the wheel rotates smoothly. In many modern vehicles, the steer axle wheel bearings often were pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory. often were pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory.
07. Universal joints
Modern vehicles may use additional types of joints, such as constant velocity (CV) joints, which provide smoother power transfer at higher angles and speeds compared to the U-joints used in 1925 vehicles.
08. Differential/final drive
Modern differentials and final drives have electric controls which allow vehicles to automatically adjust how power is shared amongst wheels. Lubrication is still essential to reduce friction, wear and tear, and ensure efficient power transmission.
09. Steering gearbox
Steering gearboxes convert the steering wheels’ rotational movement into the linear motion required to turn the wheels to steer the vehicle. Gearboxes still rely on lubrication to reduce wear and friction.
10. Fifth wheel
Modern Fifth Wheels often include hydraulic or air-operated systems for easier coupling and uncoupling, as well as more sophisticated safety locks and adjustments. Lubrication is essential for the proper functioning of modern fifth-wheel hitches.
