Leakage Tendencies Tester for Oil Fuel and Petroleum Testing Instruments

The Wheel Bearing Grease Leakage Tester evaluates the tendency of automotive wheel bearing grease to separate oil or grease under prescribed laboratory conditions. The test is performed at elevated temperatures using a modified automotive spindle-hub assembly rotating at 660 rpm. Any oil or grease leakage during the test period is collected and weighed. The system consists of a modified front wheel hub and spindle assembly, a drive motor, and a constant-temperature air cabinet. The spindle temperature is maintained at 220°F (104°C) or another specified temperature. Separated oil is collected in the hub cap and a leakage collector fitted to the spindle. A durable 1/3 hp motor drives the hub through a V-belt drive. Microprocessor-based PID control provides rapid temperature stabilization, while an over-temperature protection circuit interrupts power if the temperature exceeds the programmed cutoff. Dual LED displays indicate actual and setpoint temperatures in °C or °F. The insulated cabinet features a hinged cover for easy access to the hub-spindle assembly, and thermometer ports allow precise temperature setting and monitoring. The unit is housed in a heavy-gauge steel cabinet with a polyurethane enamel finish. Manufactured by Atico Export with a focus on precision, durability, and reliable performance for automotive wheel bearing grease testing applications.
