SKF introduced the SKF Splashguard, a protection plug for its line of Scotseal TF Hubcaps, that it said features an exclusion technology with multiple barriers to protect wheel end components from outside contamination.
SKF said the Splashguard design includes a hard outer shell that resists power washing and road debris; a pressure sensitive vent that remains closed unless releasing pressure to eliminate an entry path for contaminants; side tabs for easy removal; and an extended surface for added coverage between the window and plug for better sealing.
“SKF Splashguard is an excellent complement to SKF’s already successful line of Scotseal TF Hubcaps,” said Doug Fike, product manager, Heavy Duty, SKF. “Its exclusion technology further contributes to the existing heavy-duty durability and dependability of Scotseal TF Hubcaps.”
SKF Splashguards are packaged in groups of four and sealed in 8.5- x 6-inch plastic bags and are available in green and black. A point of sale countertop display with six 4-packs of green Splashguards and six 4-packs of black Splashguards illustrating the features and benefits is available.
