Hallite Introduces the Most Advanced Bearing for Heavy Duty Equipment

SHANGHAI, Nov. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Hallite, a leading global manufacturer of high-performance hydraulic sealing solutions, introduces the newly designed Hallite 708 bearing. The redesigned sealing solution features material technology and key design enhancements to meet critical performance needs for heavy duty industrial applications. It offers original equipment manufacturers (OEMS), distributors who partner with OEMs and aftermarket service providers the most advanced bearing of its type.

The new Hallite 708 bearing is a fit-for-purpose solution designed for heavy duty cylinder applications, such as mining roof supports and forestry equipment. For better alignment and to reduce risk for metal-to-metal contact between moving parts, all Hallite 708 bearings are fully machined to tight tolerances on thickness. It is most advantageous in applications that require high load bearing, compressive strength, and wear resistant capabilities. It is ideal for extreme applications where fiber filled bearings are not suitable.

"We designed the new 708 for our customers whose applications needed to go beyond the load threshold of our best-selling Hallite 506 bearing," says Lee Shek, Hallite Technical Director, China. "This really is the most advanced bearing in the industry. It is for use in extreme applications that are pushed to the limits in terms of heavy loads and rough wear. It has been tested in underground mining applications and has performed outstandingly. Because of this design and release, customers now have access to a more durable, heavy duty bearing that is easy to install."

The new Hallite 708 is available in inch and metric ranges. Visit the 708 product page on Hallite's web site to learn more about this new bearing, or contact Hallite for more in-depth information about how the new bearing works and how it will be used to revolutionize manufacturing, production and operation of seals — although often overlooked, one of the fluid power industry's most critical components.
