AISI 52100 Steel for Superior Durability
The KUGEL hub assembly utilizes AISI 52100 chromium alloy steel for its core, offering enhanced wear resistance and fatigue strength over standard bearing steels. This metallurgy is key to enduring constant stress and vibration on varied road surfaces.
MolyPro Grease Minimizes Wear and Friction
Equipped with Premium MolyPro NLGI Grade 2 Molybdenum Grease (MoS2), this hub assembly provides advanced lubrication. This formulation actively reduces friction and wear, promising extended service life and consistent performance under load compared to conventional greases.
NBR Multi-Lip Seals Guard Against Contaminants
The ProSeal Nitrile Rubber (NBR) multi-lip seals are designed for resilience across a broad temperature range, from -20°C to 150°C. Their advanced design effectively blocks ingress of water, dirt, and road salt, preserving internal lubrication and bearing integrity.
SAE Validation Confirms OEM Performance
Validation against SAE J1714, J2525, and J2535 standards ensures the KUGEL hub meets OEM load-carrying capacity and durability benchmarks. This rigorous testing provides confidence in its performance characteristics for specific Volkswagen models.
Expert answers based on real user experience
The core of the KUGEL 70-513262 hub assembly is crafted from AISI 52100 chromium alloy steel. This specific alloy is engineered for exceptional wear resistance, boasting a higher hardness rating than standard steels, and significantly enhanced fatigue strength. These properties are critical for wheel bearings that endure constant rotational stress, vibration on rocky trails, and varying road conditions. The material's inherent qualities ensure the bearing can withstand these forces over an extended service life, minimizing premature wear and maintaining structural integrity.
The KUGEL 70-513262 features Premium MolyPro NLGI Grade 2 Molybdenum Grease (MoS2), a high-performance lubricant designed to significantly reduce friction and minimize wear. MoS2 particles form a low-friction layer on metal surfaces, providing excellent protection under high pressure and load. This advanced grease formulation ensures the bearing operates smoothly and efficiently, extending its lifespan beyond that of assemblies using conventional lithium greases and maintaining performance even during prolonged operation or under heavy load conditions.

The exclusive multi-lip seals on the KUGEL 70-513262 are constructed from ProSeal Nitrile Rubber (NBR). This advanced material is chosen for its exceptional resilience and ability to function effectively across a wide delta of temperatures, from sub-zero conditions to high operating heat. The multi-lip design creates multiple barriers against contaminants like water, dirt, and road salt, while also ensuring the MolyPro grease is retained within the bearing. This solid sealing capability preserves bearing integrity and performance, preventing premature failure due to environmental ingress.
The KUGEL 70-513262 hub assembly comes pre-mounted and secured to the required OE torque specification. This critical step ensures the bearing is installed correctly from the factory, preventing issues associated with overtightening, which can cause immediate damage and premature wear, or undertightening, leading to play and eventual failure. By meeting OE specifications, validated by standards like SAE J1714, J2525, and J2535 for load-carrying capacity, the assembly guarantees optimal performance and durability from installation, eliminating guesswork for the technician and ensuring proper bearing preload.
