These are automatically cycled and conduct a barrage of tests to quantify external grease leakage, spline characteristics, snap ring or ring groove presence, half shaft joint lash, and articulation torque.
The second defect involves the speedometer, which may malfunction as the snap ring that holds the sensor rotor for detecting vehicle speed in two-wheel-drive vehicles may come loose, MMC said.
Additional features include higher capacity bearings with a wider bearing spread for greater radial and overhung load capacity; optimized gear geometry; a double spring/double lip seal, for applications where the drive may be submerged or exposed to an outside medium; and an optimized snap ring bearing retention device for increased axial loads.
approach versus competitors: "The installation is much easier." Fundamentally, there is the bag, a snap ring to attach to the blower, and the control unit.
