They were experiencing early life failures and looking for a solution with our Birrana\u2122 enhanced wheel groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUPERIOR TECHNOLOGY <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, the 930E wheel groups were averaging less than 10,000 service hours. After examining the cores, our engineering team agreed upon a plan to rebuild them and increase their service life using our Birrana\u2122 proprietary technology. The following enhancements lead to increased life for the 930E front wheel groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Isolated Wheel Bearing Compartment: Our engineers separated the wheel bearing compartment from the lightweight brake cooling oil, thus allowing the wheel bearings to be lubricated by approved wheel bearing oil.<\/li><li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/solutions\/mining-solutions\/birrana-enhancements-wheel-ends\/\">Birrana\u2122 control fit <\/a>wheel bearing system: includes flexible spacer, hardened spacer, custom bearing design and specifications, and preload adjustments.<\/li><li>Birrana\u2122 contamination control: includes isolation seals, contamination guards, and contamination kits.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these upgrades, the Birrana\u2122 enhanced wheel groups lasted an average of over 33,000 service hours. Today, the customer operates over 30 H-E Parts rebuilt wheel groups.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The reliability team of a coal mine customer in Powder River Basin approached H-E Parts in need of longer service [&hellip;]","protected":false},"featured_media":1205768,"template":"","tags":[],"class_list":["post-1205583","white-papers","type-white-papers","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers\/1205583","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/white-papers"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/white-papers"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1205768"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1205583"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.h-eparts.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1205583"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
