An aircraft wheel (1) comprising a hub connected to a rim (3) provided with a tire (100), the hub having an outer surface that extends facing an inner surface (4) of the rim (3) and that co-operates therewith to define an annular space for receiving a stack of brake disks including rotor disks having axial peripheral notches, each notch receiving a segment of an axial bar (10) extending projecting from the inner surface (4) of the rim (3), and respective heat shields (20), each in the form of an annular segment, being mounted between the two bars (10) of respective pairs of adjacent bars. Each heat shield (20) includes at least one holder portion bearing against at least one first abutment (19, 119) secured to the rim (3) in order to hold the heat shield (20) in position on the rim (3) elastically.

The invention relates to a wheel for a powered two-wheeler, in particular a motorcycle or a motor scooter, that is at least sectionally made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material. A hub area (12) of the wheel (IO) is provided with two rigid, self-supporting, metal inserts (18, 20), which are arranged on axially opposite sides of the hub area (12), and which in an axial and radial direction (A, r) are connected to one another in a form-fit manner.

A braking structure for an in-wheel motor drive device includes: an in-wheel motor drive device including a wheel hub bearing unit (11) and a motor unit, the wheel hub bearing unit (11) including an outer ring (12) connected to a road wheel (W) and a brake rotor (BR), inner rings (13) disposed coaxially with the outer ring (12), and a plurality of rolling elements (14) arranged in annular clearance between the outer ring and the inner rings, and the motor unit being configured to drive the outer ring; a carrier member (17) coupled to a vehicle body-side member and attached to and fixed to an inner fixing member (15) for the inner rings (13); and a brake caliper bracket (18) that has its inner end (18b) connected to the carrier member (17) and that supports a brake caliper (19) at its outer end (18a).

A wheel end assembly and a method of servicing. The wheel end assembly may include a wheel hub, a mounting ring, and a brake rotor. The mounting ring may be removably coupled to the wheel hub with a first set of fasteners. The brake rotor may be removably mounted to the mounting ring with a second set of fasteners.

A vehicle wheel assembly comprises a wheel for mounting a tire thereon and having an inner space; and an in-wheel motor mounted in the inner space of the wheel and comprising: a rotor connected to the wheel and configured to rotatable relative to a stator, the stator configured to drive the rotor, an electronic device comprising a circuit board and electronics mounted on the circuit board and configured to control the in-wheel motor, two-phase dielectric material, and covers coupled with the stator to form a hermetic enclosure. The electronic device and the two-phase dielectric material are contained in the hermetic enclosure formed by the wall of the stator and the covers coupled with stator, and the two-phase dielectric material is in contact with the wall of the stator and the electronic device to cool the stator and the electronic device by transitioning between a liquid phase and a gaseous phase, conduction, and convection.

A bicycle hub comprises a tubular body and a spoke attachment part. The tubular body has a rotational axis. The spoke attachment part includes an attachment opening through which a spoke is to extend. The attachment opening includes a first end opening through which the spoke is to extend, and a second end opening through which the spoke is to extend. The second end opening is provided outward of the first end opening in a radial direction perpendicular to the rotational axis. The second end opening has a first maximum length and a second maximum length. The first maximum length is defined in a circumferential direction defined about the rotational axis. The second maximum length is defined in an axial direction parallel to the rotational axis. The first maximum length is larger than the second maximum length.

A bicycle disc or spider wheel including: a hub; a rim having a radially outer tire-coupling region, a first sidewall, a second sidewall; an axis of rotation; and a median plane. A pair of pretensioned disc or spider wheel-type structural elements are integral with the hub and with the rim. The first sidewall extends on a first side of the wheel, with respect to the median plane, on which a component of a motion transmission system or, when there is none, a disc of a disc brake is provided at the hub, and the second sidewall extends on the opposite side, with respect to the median plane. The first sidewall of the rim has a minimum distance from the median plane that is smaller than that of the second sidewall of the rim.

A damper assembly for a bicycle wheel assembly may include a first damper configured to be disposed about a hub assembly of the bicycle wheel assembly. The first damper is configured to apply a first damping force against a spoke segment of at least one spoke of a plurality of spokes of the bicycle wheel assembly. The spoke segment is spaced apart from a spoke attachment member.

A bicycle wheel assembly may include a rim, a hub assembly, a plurality of spokes and a damper assembly. The damper assembly includes a damping element configured to apply a damping force against at least one spoke of the plurality of spokes. The damping force may be applied in an axial direction of the bicycle wheel and/or to a segment of the at least one spoke near the hub assembly.
