FUEL WASTE FROM CONTAMINATION IN THE WHEEL-END

When hard particle contaminants flow freely inside the wheel hub, they can cause permanent bearing damage and increase friction that requires more energy to overcome. 

Use the calculator below to estimate what wheel-end contamination could cost your fleet.

Defaults include one steer axle and two drive axles per truck, plus two axles per trailer. Each axle has two wheel ends.

Contamination adds friction. Friction consumes fuel. Estimates based on an assumed value of friction per wheel end. Actual losses depend on contamination, bearing condition, speed, load and duty cycle. Results are not measured contamination losses or verified The Xtractor® fuel savings.
