HexThread® Front Access Cartridge

The Xtractor is equipped with a patent-pending HexThread® front access cartridge which enables easy hub oil service and internal inspection without the need to remove the hub cap or flange gasket. This feature simplifies routine oil maintenance and supports early detection of wear, helping to prevent expensive failures.

Multistage Magnetic Oil Filter

The Xtractor features a submerged, multistage magnetic filter that captures large debris and fine ferrous particles suspended in hub oil. This protects seals and bearings from pitting, scoring, corrosion, and galling. This patent-pending filtration mechanism keeps lubrication oil cleaner - reducing rolling friction and helping safeguard critical axle components from particle-induced wear.

"Oil contamination causes component wear which generates more contamination. This chain-reaction-of-wear causes higher friction, leading to higher fuel consumption, misalignment, vibration, and premature component replacement."

FAQs

What makes The Xtractor unique?

Most hub caps are just passive covers. The Xtractor is a performance-driven component, actively filtering foreign particulates from circulating in hub oil, reducing rolling resistance and safeguarding against particle-induced wear.

What problem does it solve?

Traditional hub caps allow metal & debris to continually circulate through your wheel-end system, causing rolling friction and accelerating component wear. The Xtractor removes contaminants to stop this destructive behavior.

What vehicles is it compatible with?

The Xtractor is engineered for standard Class 7 and 8 trucks and trailers, with fitment options for most standard hub configurations.

Is it field tested and proven?

Of course. The Xtractor has been tested in real-world fleet operations and validated by experienced mechanics and logistics professionals.

Is it easy to install?

Absolutely. The Xtractor fits just like any other heavy-duty hub cap. Bolt, torque, fill.
