The plurality of rotor mounts is positioned adjacent to an outboard end of the hub cylinder. The plurality of L-shaped locking recesses radially traverses into the hub cylinder. The bolt ring and the locking collar are positioned in between the outboard end and an inboard end of the hub cylinder. A plurality of locking splines of the bolt ring is removably mounted around the hub cylinder through the plurality of L-shaped locking recesses. A plurality of locking tabs of the locking collar is removably mounted around the hub cylinder through the plurality of L-shaped locking recesses.

A method for manufacturing a one-piece wheel by forging includes: producing an integral forging comprising: a disc portion, a rim portion, and an annular protrusion protruding from one side of the disc portion in a forging method; producing an outer bend by bending the annular protrusion through a flow-forming process; and forming a hollow portion by welding one end of the outer bend to one side of the rim portion.

Provided discloses an integrated axle assembly and structural assembly. The integrated axle assembly comprises an axle tube assembly extending in a first direction; a front support arm extending circumferentially from the axle tube assembly in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction for attachment to the frame; a rear support arm extending circumferentially from the axle tube assembly in a third direction away from the second direction for mounting a resilient assembly; and a brake base plate extending in a peripheral direction from the circumference of the axle tube assembly; the axle tube assembly, front bracket arm, rear bracket arm and brake base plate are molded in one piece, which improves the assembly efficiency.

A vehicle wheel drive device includes: a rotary electric machine that is received on a radially inner side of a vehicle wheel shaped in a cylindrical tubular form and is configured to rotate the vehicle wheel; and a brake device that includes a brake disc and a brake caliper. The brake device is configured to generate a braking force relative to the vehicle wheel. The rotary electric machine includes a rotor and a stator which are opposed to each other in a radial direction. A hollow space is formed on a radially inner side of a magnetic circuit unit that is formed by the rotor and the stator. The brake device is placed in the hollow space in a state where the brake caliper is fixed to an axial end surface of the stator which faces in an axial direction, and the brake disc is rotatable integrally with the rotor.

A tool for working in fields includes a first flange and a second flange which mount one on the other, forming a wheel body. The first flange includes a central portion, a generally annular peripheral portion and arms which connect the central portion and the peripheral portion to each other. The second flange is homologous to the first flange. In the assembled state, the wheel body has a rim which is formed together by the peripheral portion of the first flange and the homologous peripheral portion of the second flange and a hub which is formed by the central portion of the first flange. The central portion of the second flange receives the hub which is formed by the central portion of the first flange.

A hub or wheel assembly includes a retaining element, biasing element, and hand-maneuverable release mechanism. The housing includes an axle bore configured to receive an axle and a pin sleeve including a first end in fluid communication with the axle bore, a second end, and a conduit between the first end and the second end. The retaining element is within the conduit and is configured to operatively engage a groove in an axle. The biasing element is within the conduit and is configured to bias the retaining element towards the axle bore. The hand-maneuverable release mechanism is configured to displace the retaining element away from the axle bore.

A drive axle shaft and method for making the same are provided. The drive axle shaft includes an elongate tubular body and a wheel flange. The elongate tubular body has a longitudinal axis and comprises a first end portion and a second end. The second end is configured to be coupled to a side gear in a differential. The wheel flange is disposed at the first end portion and is configured to support a vehicle wheel. The elongate tubular body and the wheel flange are formed as a unitary body without any weld therebetween.

Aircraft wheel rim in two parts, one of them a main part (1) comprising a hub (2), a disc (4) extending between the hub and an annular external portion (3) intended to accept a tire and shaped to have a flange (5) at one of its ends. The other end is shaped to accept the second part, a removable part (10) forming a flange (12) which removable part is attached to the annular external portion after the tire has been fitted. The rim has a structure for preventing the removable flange from rotating relative to the rim. The structure comprises at least one link (20) having ends, the centers of which define an axis which extends in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the rim while at the same time extending obliquely to make an angle () with respect to a radial direction, one of the ends being coupled to the main part and the other of its ends being coupled to the removable part.

A drive axle shaft and method for making the same are provided. A tubular blank is inserted in a first die including an orifice. The tubular blank is extruded through the orifice to form an elongate tubular body with a longitudinal axis. A first longitudinal end of the tubular body is heated. The tubular body is inserted into a bore in a support apparatus. The support apparatus defines a second die at one end surrounding the bore, and the first longitudinal end of the tubular body projects outwardly from the bore. A third die comprises a mandrel configured to be received within the tubular body. A wheel flange is formed by moving at least one of the support apparatus and the third die toward the other of the support apparatus and the third die to deform the first longitudinal end of the tubular body between the second and third dies.
