TraX

The SKF TraX system monitors the condition of wheel end bearings by measuring and analyzing wheel end vibration, usually on trucks, trailers, and buses. It provides warnings when bearing failures are detected and facilitates checks on the condition of wheel end bearings.

The TraX device is offered in two versions: a Standalone and Connected. This documentation primarily focuses on the Connected version, unless specified otherwise.

How the TraX Connected Version Works

1. The TraX device is mounted on a wheel end and configured using the TraX mobile app.
2. Through integrations, the device is onboarded to the telematics platform, completing the configuration.
3. When the vehicle is in motion, the TraX device assesses the wheel end health and transmits the status over Bluetooth.
4. The telematics platform captures, analyzes, stores, and presents the data to the fleet.
