REMACK: Genuine OEM Remanufactured Carriers

REMACK® Genuine Axle Parts

Get reliable and affordable remanufactured Mack® parts with REMACK®. Every component is remanufactured to exact Mack OEM/Reman specs. The result? Better performance, increased reliability and longer life. Before a part is remanufactured, it undergoes a stringent quality control process. Trained technicians work closely with Mack engineers and vendors to ensure that all remanufactured parts meet the strictest tolerances. The REMACK® quality system is registered to ISO 9001-2000. This adherence to a recognized international quality management system provides one of the strongest assurances of product quality available. Strong warranty. The REMACK® warranty covers 100 percent parts and contingent damage, as well as 100 percent labor if the part is installed by an authorized Mack dealer. With REMACK®, quality is the number one priority and you will see the REMACK® difference against a local rebuilder!

REMACK Carrier

Basic Carrier Operation:

Let’s take a look at basic carrier operation. The purpose of the carrier assembly is to:

  • Deliver TORQUE from the transmission to the wheels.
  • Serves as a gear REDUCTION from the transmission to the wheels.
  • Enables wheels to rotate at DIFFERENT SPEEDS.
 
The DRIVE SHAFT sends power to the POWER DIVIDER which sends power to the GEAR SET PINION, which transfers it to the BULL GEAR. Note, this set-up makes the carrier assembly a DUAL REDUCTION system. The BULL GEAR then transfers power to the AXLE SHAFTS and WHEEL ENDS. This basic knowledge of carrier operation is important for understanding the REMACK® carriers’ features and benefits.

Key Areas of Performance:

Let’s see what REMACK® does to differentiate its carriers from others in the market:

Power Divider (cams and wedges/”peanuts”): Some suppliers do not verify these parts to spec. If mismatched it can cause noise, excessive wear, or premature failure. REMACK® replaces wedges with all new parts and closely inspects and measures cams.

Gear Set (Pinion and Ring Gear): The gear set is manufactured together to ensure an accurate gear teeth pattern. Some suppliers do not verify gear tooth patterns and/or backlash to spec. If mismatched it can cause noise, excessive wear, or premature failure. REMACK® uses only mated gear sets. If one gear is worn, the set is scrapped. The gear set is always measured and checked for preload and gear patterns for conformance to specifications.

Pinion (Spur) Shaft and Bull Gear: Some suppliers do not verify gear tooth patterns to specifications. If not set properly, it will result in the teeth being loaded either to the side or heel. If they are mismatched, it can cause noise, excessive wear, or premature failure. REMACK® always measures preload and gear patterns for conformance to specifications.

Missing Covers: Some suppliers do not provide covers. REMACK® units always include covers.

Out-of-Spec Bearings: Some suppliers use old/out-of-spec bearings. REMACK® units use 100% new bearings. REMACK ® Rebuilder Series™ units use new bearings where needed but may use low milage/new truck ratio conversion bearings.

features and benefits:

REMACK® offers two types of remanufactured carrier assemblies, the REMACK Carrier, and the Rebuilder Series Carrier. The REMACK® Carrier assembly offers superior performance and comes with a 2-year/unlimited mile warranty. The Rebuilder Series™ Carrier offers the same OEM Remanufacturing processes and Factory Trained Technicians and has a 1-year/unlimited mile warranty. Let’s take a look at the features and benefits.

Located in Middletown, PA, the company’s remanufacturing operation (Reman) receives components that have exceeded their initial life cycle and restores them to their original performance specifications. These Reman components then begin another life cycle with genuine Mack reliability. Critical steps are taken to ensure quality, such as an environmentally controlled gague calibration room where over 1800 gauges are under calibration control and provide certifications up to 0.00005″ (as a reference, a sheet of paper is 0.0039″ thick). Additionally, Mack Trucks also utilizes a coordinate measuring machine (CMM) to measure for size and location for machined parts quality control and verification of proper machine repair. The Reman Center is committed to protecting the environment and has received the following commendations:

  • The 1997 Pennsylvania Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence
  • The Volvo Group Environmental Award for reducing the amount of waste going to a landfill by 85 percent from 1995 levels
  • Environmental Management System certified to ISO 14001
  • The 2004 Waste Watcher Award in the green procurement category by the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Waste Industries Association, and the Keystone Chapter of the Solid Waste Association of North America.
