A vehicle spindle and a method of attaching the spindle to a portion of an axle half shaft housing. The spindle has an inner surface, an outer surface, one or more bearing journals on the outer surface of the spindle and a radially protruding portion circumferentially extending from at least a portion of the outer surface of an axially inboard end portion of the spindle. Prior to attaching the spindle to the axle half shaft housing, the one or more bearing journals are ground, a clocking angle for the radially protruding portion of the spindle is determined and the spindle is aligned to the determined clocking angle. Once the spindle is aligned to the determined clocking angle, the axially inboard end portion of the spindle is attached to an axially outboard end portion of the axle half shaft housing using one or more welds.

The present disclosure provides a hub unit including a fixing shaft disposed along a rotation center shaft; a hub body rotatably disposed at the fixing shaft through a bearing and having space inside; a brake disk fixed in the hub body by a bracket and formed in a circumference direction on a basis of the fixing shaft; a fixing member where one side of which is fixed to the fixing shaft; a caliper formed at the other side of the fixing member and a part of the brake disk is inserted into the caliper; and a brake pad where both inside surfaces of the brake pad are contacted with both side surfaces of the brake disk.

A wheel carrier assembly (104) for a vehicle (110) is clamped on a frame (14) and a carbon composite brake disc 41 of the assembly is bedded by pneumatically applying the brake pads to the brake disc so as to heat the disc in cycles, the wheel carrier assembly then being removed from the frame and fitted to the vehicle.

A braking system is provided which includes a support member, a brake disc defining a disc mid-plane line, and a brake caliper including a bridge section, an inboard section and an outboard section. The brake caliper is connected to the support member such that the joint there-between is close to the brake disc mid-plane so as to balance warping between the inboard caliper section and the outboard caliper section.

An in-wheel working device may include a motor part configured to generate power, a first speed reduction part including a sun gear connected to a driving shaft of the motor part and configured to rotate with the driving shaft, a planetary gear configured to rotate along a circumference of the sun gear, and a carrier configured to rotate with the planetary gear, a second speed reduction part installed in series to the first speed reduction part, and configured to perform speed reduction through a gear ratio while rotating with the carrier axially connected to the second speed reduction part, a hub part spline-coupled to the second speed reduction part, and configured to rotate with the second speed reduction part, and a wheel member connected to the hub part, and configured to rotate with the hub part.

A steering knuckle of a utility vehicle, composed of a cast material, has a main body, a steering knuckle bearing, a hub-type, cup-shaped receiving portion, open towards a rim of a vehicle wheel and suitable for receiving an anti-friction bearing and a bearing journal, and a pad-receiving portion for receiving a brake pad. The pad receiving portion has a support and two supporting elements provided one behind the other in the rotational direction of the vehicle wheel. A control arm attachment for linking an axle guide is formed on the main body.

A vehicle wheel system for motor vehicles includes a central wheel disc having an attachment flange for arrangement on a chassis component, and having a brake rotor which is provided coaxially with respect to a central rotational axis Ax and whose external circumference is secured to the wheel disc but is otherwise freely oriented in the radially inward direction. An aspect is a vehicle wheel system which is of lightweight construction and easy to maintain. The aspect is based on the brake rotor being secured in an exchangeable fashion by a plurality of support sections at its outer circumference with a detachable attachment and, for the purpose of conducting away heat, is secured in a thermally conductive fashion to a plurality of abutment sections on the circumference of the wheel disc, with the result that overall a modular design (MAB) is obtained.

A pulsar ring which is a detection target ring includes an annular base wall having pickup holes and a plurality of ring attachment portions protruding from an outer peripheral edge portion of the base wall and being fixed, together with a disc attachment portion of a brake disc, to a wheel of a vehicle wheel assembly. Regions corresponding to positions between adjacent ring attachment portions in an inner peripheral edge portion of the base wall are bent to form reinforcing ribs.

A hub arrangement for twin wheels comprises a stationary carrier; an intermediate hub which is rotatable about an axis of rotation and which can be driven by a drive shaft; a differential gear having an input which is connected to the intermediate hub; a first wheel hub which is connected to a first output of the differential gear; and a second wheel hub which is connected to a second output of the differential gear. The hub arrangement furthermore comprises a first braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the intermediate hub and a second braking apparatus which is effective between the stationary carrier and the second wheel hub or between the intermediate hub and the second wheel hub. In this respect, the first braking apparatus and the second braking apparatus can be actuated separately from one another.

A wheel assembly bushing for in-wheel electric motors where the bushing includes a hydraulic chamber positioned within a resilient sleeve of the bushing and a helical fluid channel that extends helically about an inner bushing member between first and second fluid channel ends, which are arranged in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber. An outer body extends annularly about the resilient sleeve, which permits relative movement between the inner bushing member and the outer body. The fluid channel is configured to produce inertance. This inertance, when combined with other damping and stiffness effects of the wheel assembly bushing, provides phase and magnitude shifts between force and velocity, which ultimately reduce magnetic gap deformation in the in-wheel electric motor.
