An adapter unit is disposed on one end of the hub shell. The adapter unit includes an inner stopper having an inner stop face for transferring a clamping force to the bearing device and an outer stopper with an outer stop face transmitting at least part of the clamping force. The adapter unit includes a first and a second stopper component transmitting the clamping force.

An in-wheel motor unit may include: a rim member having a tire installed along an outer circumference thereof; a spoke connected to the rim member and rotated with the rim member; a motor part located in a mounting space formed by the rim member and the spoke, and configured to generate rotational power through power supply, and rotate the spoke; a knuckle part connected to the motor part and configured to support a suspension part; and a hub part having one side fixed to the spoke and the other side connected to the knuckle part, and configured to rotatably support the spoke.

An in-wheel motor drive device (10) includes a wheel hub bearing unit (11) having an outer ring (13) , an inner ring (12) protruding from the outer ring to one side in an axial (O) direction, rolling elements (14) between the outer ring and the inner ring, and a fixing bolt (15) for fixing the outer ring to a non-rotary member (102); and a brake disk (55) having a connecting portion (58) configured to connect with one end of the inner ring, a cylindrical portion (57) extending from the connecting portion to the other side in the axial direction and disposed coaxially to the inner ring, and at least a part of the fixing bolt is received in an internal space of the cylindrical portion.

A driving device for a carriage includes a motor, a speed reducer, and a mecanum wheel. The speed reducer decelerates the power input from the motor and outputs a decelerated power. The mecanum wheel is rotated by the decelerated power output from the speed reducer. The speed reducer includes a speed reducing unit, a carrier, and a case. The speed reducing unit receives the power from the motor. The carrier supports the speed reducing unit. The case is rotatable relative to the carrier. The mecanum wheel is fixed on the case or the carrier.

A motorized vehicle assembly includes an axle comprising a channel extending along a central axis of the axle, a socket positioned within the channel of the axle, and a motorized wheel configured to be mounted on an end the axle. The motorized wheel includes a boss configured to engage the end of the axle when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle, an electric motor, a tire mounted on the rotor, and a plug positioned within the boss, the plug configured to engage with the socket when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle. The electric motor includes a stator fixed to the boss and a rotor surrounding the stator, the rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator. The electric motor is configured to cause the rotor to rotate relative to the stator to cause the tire to rotate.

An axle subassembly of a trailer of a vehicle includes a wheel bearing having an outer ring mechanically connected to a shaft and an electric drive/generator operably connected to the shaft, wherein the electric drive/generator in a first state is configured to generate electricity from a rotation of the shaft and wherein the electric drive/generator in a second state is configured to drive the shaft, and a controller configured to shift the electric drive/generator unit into the first state and into the second state.

A wheel hub drive as a direct drive of a wheel of a vehicle having an electric motor preferably designed as a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM)external rotor motorwhich is substantially arranged in the region within the wheel, wherein a rotating part of a friction brake is frictionally, interlockingly, and/or integrally connected to the motor for braking. The rotating part is operatively connected to the rotor of the motor, directly or indirectly, from outside of the motor.

Provided are an anti-fatigue in-situ aluminum-based nanocomposite material for heavy-load automobile hubs and a preparation method therefor. By means of the fine adjustment of components and a forming process, in situ nano-compositing, micro-alloying and rapid compression moulding techniques are combined. That is, after the addition of Zr and B, an in-situ reaction occurs to form a nano ZrB.sub.2 ceramic reinforcement, which is distributed in aluminum crystals and crystal boundaries and bonded to a metallurgical interface kept firm with the matrix.

An automobile hub with a hollow rim includes a wheel disc and the rim with at least one hollow cavity, in which the rim includes at least two mutually nested rings and an axial end cap at the same ends of the at least two rings, and the hollow cavity consists of the rings and the axial end cap. The outer side of one end of the wheel disc includes axial rim mounting grooves, and the rim is inserted into the rim mounting grooves and fixed to the wheel disc through the end without the axial end cap. By employing the automobile hub with the hollow rim, the hub assembling method, and the automobile having the hub, the weight of the hub can be further reduced, and the hub has sufficient strength.

Provided is a turning function-equipped having a reduced size and having improved strength to an external shock force and improved reliability. The turning function-equipped hub unit includes: a hub unit main body; a unit support member; and a turning actuator. The unit support member is provided to a chassis frame component. The unit support member includes an abutment part with which a part of the hub unit main body is brought into abutment in a vertical direction during non-normal time, the abutment part being separated from the hub unit main body in the vertical direction during normal time, and the non-normal time in which the abutment is caused, is a time when an impact load equal to or greater than a predetermined value acts on the hub unit main body in the vertical direction due to an external force from the wheel.
