HUB, IN PARTICULAR FOR BICYCLES
A bicycle hub with an axle, a shell, a rotor with a rotor body and a freewheel device with, a hub-side toothed disk device coupled to the hub shell, and a rotor-side toothed disk device interacting therewith and coupled to the rotor body, to drivingly couple the rotor to the hub shell in the driving direction and decouple from one another when freewheeling. The toothed disk devices include an end toothing and are biased to an engagement position. A sprocket accommodation is on the rotor body which includes on the hub-side end an inner radial wall to support a hub-side rotor bearing. On an end face at the hub-side end of the rotor, radially between the inner radial wall and an rotor outer wall, a circumferential accommodation accessible from the end face is configured, so the rotor-side toothed disk device is accommodated in a fixed driving manner and axially movable.
HUB AND ROTOR, IN PARTICULAR FOR BICYCLES
A bicycle hub with a rotor, including a rotor body, extending from an inner end toward an outer end, wherein the rotor body is rotatably supported on the hub axle with a hub-side rotor bearing and an opposite, outer rotor bearing. The rotor includes a rotor-side toothed disk device coupled with the rotor body, to fixedly, drivingly couple the rotor body with a hub shell, and to decouple from a hub shell when freewheeling. The rotor-side toothed disk device includes an end toothing engaging an end toothing coupled with the hub shell. The rotor-side toothed disk device is biased to an engagement position. The rotor body includes a first rotor part and a second rotor part connected with the first rotor part in a drivingly, rotationally fixed manner. One rotor bearing is on one of the rotor parts and the other rotor bearing is on the other rotor part.
Wheel hub system including a retainer for positioning components during assembly
A wheel hub system is disclosed. The wheel hub system has a hub assembly, a joint component, and a threaded bolt. The hub assembly has a hub having a though-hole, a circumferential groove formed in the through-hole, and a first support surface having a first plurality of teeth. The hub assembly also has a bearing unit positioned on the hub. The joint component is secured to the hub assembly and has a projection positioned in the through-hole and having a threaded bore and a retainer positioned in the circumferential groove. The joint component also has a second support surface having a second plurality of teeth operatively engaging the first plurality of teeth. The retainer positions the hub assembly and the joint component relative to each other during assembly. The threaded bolt is positioned in the threaded bore and secures the hub assembly in the position.
Spindle system for wheel alignment correction
A spindle sleeve and washer for adjusting the camber, toe, or thrust angle of a vehicle wheel to a desired predetermined angle which allows for use of existing hub and spindle assembly without permanent modification to the vehicle.
Wheel hub assembly
In one aspect of the present disclosure, a wheel hub assembly is provided that includes a hub body having an outboard end portion and an inboard end portion, a bearing assembly, and a seal. The seal includes a seal case and a sleeve. The hub body and seal case are rotatable relative to the sleeve. The wheel hub assembly further includes a stop of the bearing assembly configured to resist movement of the sleeve toward the outboard end portion of the hub body as the hub body, bearing assembly, and sleeve are advanced together in an inboard direction along a vehicle spindle. The stop permits the bearing assembly to transfer a force applied in an inboard axial direction against the bearing assembly, such as by tightening of a spindle nut, to the sleeve and urge the sleeve along a vehicle spindle.
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.
Wheel hub bearing bore
In some examples, an aircraft wheel assembly includes an axle, a bearing assembly, and a hub defining a bearing bore. The bearing bore may be configured such that the dynamic radial and axial thrust bearing reactions between the axle and the hub results in a first reaction force F.sub.R applied to the hub, the first reaction force F.sub.R having a radial component, and a second reaction force F.sub.N applied to the hub, the second reaction force F.sub.N having both a radial and an axial component.
Wheel end assembly having a deflector
A wheel end assembly having a steering knuckle, a hub, and a deflector. The steering knuckle may have an opening that may extend around a spindle. The hub may be rotatably disposed on the spindle. The deflector may be disposed on the hub and may be at least partially disposed in the opening.
Axle End Assembly Comprising a Wheel Hub Unit and a Wheel Brake
An axle end assembly has a wheel brake arrangement and a wheel hub arrangement. The assembly is designed as a preassembled unit with a hollow shaft element on which the wheel brake arrangement and the wheel hub arrangement are disposed.
HUB UNIT BEARING
A hub unit bearing includes a stationary side raceway ring, a rotating side raceway ring including a rotating side flange for fixing a vehicle wheel, and rolling elements rollably provided therebetween. The rotating side flange includes thin portions and thick portions arranged alternately in a circumferential direction. A hub bolt is serration-fitted to a bolt hole formed in each of the thick portions. An outer peripheral surface of the rotating side flange includes a large-diameter portion which has a larger radial thickness dimension with the bolt hole, a small-diameter portion which has a smaller radial thickness dimension with the bolt hole than the large-diameter portion, and a step portion which connects the large-diameter portion to the small-diameter portion. A serration-fitted portion does not radially overlap with the large-diameter portion.
