Chicago Rawhide Products


Chicago Rawhide manufactures the ScotsealŪ line of wheel seals,
ScotsealŪ Hubcaps and the BrakemasterŪ Air Dryer line. These
products are used by both original equipment builders and
maintenance and repair services.

CR supplies SKF bearings to the replacement market through
standard distribution channels, along with Speedi-SleevesŪ a
unique stainless steel shaft repair sleeve.


ScotsealŪ Wheel Seals

With the introduction of
Scotseal 30 years ago,
Chicago Rawhide literally
invented the one-piece truck
wheel seal. And after
trillions of actual road miles,
Scotseal is still the industry
standard. And still the
industry's best value.

But to assure the right sealing
solution for every kind of
wheel end--and every wheel
maintenance program--we've
added Scotseal Plus and
Scotseal LongLife to our
proven line.

ScotsealŪ Hubcaps

It's a revolution in materials and design. It's lighter than
steel and fifty times stronger than aluminum!
This technological breakthrough is possible because of a
new material called ZytelŪ created by the scientists of
DuPont. It's lightweight, strong, weather and salt resistant,
easily painted and very very tough. The perfect stuff for
building a heavy duty hubcap.
CR engineers started this project with a list. They wrote down all of the
common complaints you've voiced against current hubcap designs over the
years -- leaky windows, corrosion, weak fill plugs, the whole lot. Then, working
with DuPont engineers, they set about to overcome each one, one at a time.
And they did. It's a good adventure story. Even the testing makes interesting
reading.

BrakemasterŪ

The new CR Brakemaster family of air dryers allows you to match air dryer performance to the way you
work. From the maintenance-saving Turbo-AC to the state-of-the-art HD-2000, there's a design that's
precisely right for the job.

Here are the choices:

Turbo-AC
-- A low-maintenance aftercooler design for light to medium air compressor cycles
Turbo-2000
-- For severe service and compressor cycles to 40%
Turbo-3000
-- A new, lightweight design for optimum performance on highway or 10% duty cycles
HD-2000
-- New, modern design for severe service with continuous flow compressor operation

 

Speedi-SleevesŪ

Over time an oil seal will wear a groove in the shaft it runs on. When that
happens, just replacing the seal with a new one won't work. The shaft must
be repaired. And in many factories that means shutting down the
equipment, removing the shaft and sending it out for refinishing. But in this
cost-conscious age, there is a better way.

CR Speedi-Sleeves can make the repair both simple and fast.
Speedi-Sleeves are precisely machined rings that slip over the worn area
and produce an ideal sealing surface. The sleeve is so finely machined that the same size seal can be used in replacement. That eliminates the need for special orders and the hassle of record keeping.

Mechanics who have discovered Speedi-Sleeves use them regularly to re-new all types of shafts without remetalizing,
re-grinding or sending them out for refinishing.

There are two types of Speedi-Sleeves. The original stainless steel Speedi-Sleeve ,
and a new, super hardened Speedi-Sleeve Gold for use in highly contaminated
environments or where downtime is unacceptable.
