SENSOR CAP EXCHANGE TOOL DEVICE
A sensor cap exchange tool device may include a support bolt; a support bracket that is fixed to a front end portion of the support bolt; a mover that has a second screw thread that is engaged with the first screw thread at of the support bracket; a tool guide that is rotatably engaged with the mover and that moves in the predetermined direction together with the mover according to a rotation of the mover and that has a tool insertion opening open in the predetermined direction; and a separation device and mounting device that are mounted in the tool guide and that moves with the tool guide according to a rotation of the mover and that comes in close contact with the sensor cap that is mounted in the wheel bearing assembly.
SEALING ARRANGEMENT FOR A WHEEL BEARING
A sealing arrangement for a wheel bearing having a first bearing part and a second bearing part integrally connected to a wheel bearing flange, and rolling bodies being guided between said bearing parts, includes a carrier element and a stop part. The carrier element is connected to the first bearing part, an elastic element is provided on the carrier element, and the carrier element has a fastening section connected to the first bearing part. The elastic element has a sealing lip. The stop part is fastened to the second bearing part and in sliding contact with the sealing lip. The wheel bearing flange has an axial projection provided such that the projection protrudes in the direction of a cavity formed by an axial projection of the first bearing part. An inner surface of the axial projection of the wheel bearing flange forms a seat for the stop part.
Systems and methods for preloading a bearing and aligning a lock nut
A system for use in providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft includes a preload apparatus having a first extension and a second extension engageable with an inner race of the bearing and configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing. The first extension has a first projection and the second extension has a second projection. A stop ring is configured to limit a radially inward movement of the first extension and the second extension toward each other to position the first projection and the second projection relative to the bearing.
SEALING ASSEMBLY FOR INSERTION BETWEEN A STATIONARY ANNULAR ELEMENT AND A ROTATING ANNULAR ELEMENT, IN PARTICULAR BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER RINGS OF A ROLLING BEARING AND ASSOCIATED WHEEL HUB UNIT
In a wheel hub unit a sealing assembly inserted between a stationary outer ring and a rotating inner ring of a rolling bearing includes a first screen coupled with the outer ring, an elastomeric annular element attached to the first screen, and a second screen faces the first screen and coupled with the inner ring, the second screen having a flange portion with a radially outer edge facing a sleeve portion of the first screen, the first screen having a non-contacting annular lip with a free end substantially flush in a radial direction with the radially outer annular edge, the free end cooperating with the radially outer edge to form a labyrinth seal.
BEARING ASSEMBLY
A bearing assembly includes a stationary component, a rotatable component and a preloadable double row bearing unit having a rotatable bearing ring and a stationary bearing ring and two rows of rolling elements between the rings. The rotatable bearing ring and/or the stationary bearing ring includes a first part and a second part, and the first part is spaced from the second part by a gap so that the first part and the second part do not touch. At least one elastic element is disposed in the gap and fills the gap.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRELOADING A BEARING AND ALIGNING A LOCK NUT
A system for use in providing a load on a bearing mounted to a shaft includes a preload apparatus having a first extension and a second extension engageable with an inner race of the bearing and configured to provide a compressive load to the bearing. The first extension has a first projection and the second extension has a second projection. A stop ring is configured to limit a radially inward movement of the first extension and the second extension toward each other to position the first projection and the second projection relative to the bearing.
Sensor bearing assembly
A sensor bearing assembly includes a bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring centered on an axis, an impulse ring secured to the outer ring of the bearing, and a sensor device for detecting rotational parameters of the impulse ring. The sensor device includes a sensor housing and at least one sensor element supported by the sensor housing and cooperating with the impulse ring. An annular spacer is configured to axially abut against a lateral face of the inner ring of the bearing and the sensor housing is secured to the spacer. An outer diameter of the sensor housing is less than or equal to an outer diameter of the outer ring.
SEALING DEVICE FOR INSERTION BETWEEN TWO RELATIVELY ROTATING MEMBERS AND ASSOCIATED TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY FOR VEHICLES
A transmission assembly for vehicles, including a rolling bearing having a sealing device composed of a first annular screen coupled with a stationary outer ring of the bearing and a second annular screen coupled with a rotating inner ring of the bearing. Radially outer first and second L-shaped portions of the first and second screens project axially from the bearing and towards a constant velocity joint, the first L-shaped portion having a first and a second annular lip which form with the second L-shaped portion a radial sequence of labyrinth seals. A third annular sealing lip may be arranged radially downstream of the sequence of labyrinth seals and cooperates in sliding contact with the second screen. An encoder may be mounted on the second L-shaped portion and may have an annular overhang which forms with the first lip a first labyrinth seal.
SENSORIZED HUB BEARING UNIT FOR VEHICLES
A sensorized hub bearing unit having at least one strain sensor for detecting, in real time, forces and moments applied to an outer ring of the hub bearing unit, in which a radially outer ring of the hub bearing unit is formed by a coupling of a first annular element and a second annular element arranged coaxially, the second annular element radially fitted and integrally inside the first annular element and at least one strain sensor arranged in line with an interface between the first annular element and the second annular element.
WHEEL STRUCTURE INCLUDING HUB BEARING AND VEHICLE INCLUDING THE SAME
A wheel structure includes: a wheel; a rotary part disposed inside the wheel and configured to rotate together with the wheel; a fixing part facing the rotary part; a hub bearing disposed at one side of the rotary part and the fixing part; and a resolver facing the hub bearing and configured to detect a position of the hub bearing. The hub bearing includes: a hub body fixedly coupled to the rotary part; and a hub outer race fixedly coupled to the fixing part. The resolver includes: a resolver rotor; and a resolver stator. The resolver rotor is fixedly coupled to the hub body.
