About Eyemag

Eye Mag is the first known preventative maintenance safety detector device for oil hub assemblies on tractor trailers. We believe that the Eye Mag unit will revolutionize the trucking industry.

Gear oil in wheel hubs works best when it is uncontaminated. Continuous friction in a wheel hub creates tiny metal particles that contaminate the oil. There is no way to catch these particles in wheel hubs because there is no way to install an oil filter on the hub assembly. Over time these metal particles are circulated millions of times throughout the hub wheel bearing assembly. Installing a magnet in the flow of the oil in the hub removes smaller metal particles. It is less likely that you will experience oil oxidation, as the metal particles that contribute to the process of oxidation will adhere to the magnet in the wheel hub. It is also an indicator if a bearing is starting to break down in a wheel hub by seeing metal particles on the magnet as it is checked on regular bases.

The Magnet plug creates a 4 lb (1.8 kg) magnetic field in the wheel assembly which pulls small debris and chucky particles to it. Then it can be view threw the glass window or by removing the plug for viewing and inspection. We believe with an Eyemag in your wheel assembly and a contamination control program in place along with minimal training, would help save lives on the highway as well as equipment and cargo losses.     

The Eyemag plug is simple to use. Simply remove the current plug on the wheel hug and insert the Eyemag ensuring that it is pushed all the way in. During the pre-trip inspection the driver should take a visual look at the Eyemag to ensure there is no debris. The Eyemag should be removed every two to three weeks for a full visual inspection. If debris is detected this will indicate a possible bearing failure and your maintenance department should be notified.
