Heavy snow loads place extreme pressure on plow hydraulics. Therefore, the Western 64650 Split Bearing provides crucial stabilization inside the ram assembly. Specifically, this two-piece component maintains precise alignment during deep snow containment operations. Consequently, operators avoid hydraulic fluid bypass and maintain continuous blade control.
Furthermore, the split design simplifies field maintenance. Technicians install the halves directly around the shaft because this layout eliminates complete cylinder teardown. Additionally, this kit fits multiple UltraMount and UltraMount2 lift or angling cylinders. For instance, it services the 56538K lift ram and the 64706K angle ram. Thus, fleet mechanics save valuable service hours during major winter storms.
Benefits of the 64650 SPLIT BEARING KIT – 1-1/2″
-
Eliminates rod scoring by maintaining precise concentric alignment within the cylinder gland.
-
Accelerates repair times due to the dual-piece split configuration that wraps around the ram shaft.
-
Minimizes friction between moving internal parts to optimize hydraulic response speed.
-
Withstands extreme system pressures and corrosive salt exposure throughout grueling winter seasons.
-
Fits critical UltraMount and UltraMount2 lift and angle rams including the 56538K and 64706K assemblies.
