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 drive axle for a vehicle has a differential gearing system 3 arranged in a transmission housing 1, which differential is connected by plug-in shafts 5 to wheel hubs 7, where the plug-in shafts 5 extend through axle housings 2. The plug-in shafts 5 are arranged with their ends facing toward the differential gearing 3 fixed on the axle bevel gears 4 of the differential gearing 3. A transmitter wheel 9 is arranged on one or both plug-in shafts 5, whose rotary movement can be detected by a rotation speed sensor 8 arranged on the transmission housing 1 or the axle housing 2. The plug-in shafts 5 are guided radially, directly or indirectly, on the transmission housing 1 or in an area of the axle housing 2 adjacent to the transmission housing 1.

A luggage caster for maintenance and replacement includes a wheel frame, a vertical shaft, and trolley wheels in a clearance fit with the wheel frame. The vertical shaft is configured to rotate axially within a vertical shaft hole of the wheel frame. a bottom end of the vertical shaft defines a riveting hole for forming a riveting flange. A top end of the vertical shaft is provided with a limiting plate that cooperates with the riveting flange to achieve an axial limitation of the vertical shaft in the vertical shaft hole. The top end of the vertical shaft is further provided with an installation head that protrudes from the limiting plate. The installation head is configured to insert into a shaft hole of a luggage bottom support. The riveting hole of the vertical shaft extends axially along the vertical shaft to define an anti-rotation tool hole.

A method for producing a motor vehicle rim made of an aluminum alloy for a wheel of a motor vehicle, the motor vehicle rim having a rim base limited on opposite sides by an outer horn and an inner horn, a hub with a central recess and a hole circle, and a rim center connecting the rim base and the hub to one another. The motor vehicle rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by die casting of a casting material, the casting material being the aluminum alloy.

This application relates to a roller device. The device comprises: a roller; and a roller axle, the roller axle comprises: an axle portion configured to mount the roller such that the roller is rotatable about the axle portion; and a riveting portion at a mounting end of the roller axle with respect to an axial direction of the roller axle, and extending from the mounting end in a direction away from the axle portion, wherein, when the roller device is pressed against a carrier under force, the riveting portion can pierce the carrier such that the roller axle is riveted with the carrier through the riveting portion.

A multi-part wheel 10 includes a curb-side rim part 11 and a car-side rim part 12, wherein the curb-side rim part 11 includes an outer rim-base portion 14, and the car-side rim part 12 includes an inner rim-base portion 14 and a center part 4.

A method for producing a motor vehicle rim made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a motor vehicle wheel. The motor vehicle rim has a rim base delimited on opposite sides by an outer horn and an inner horn, a hub with a central recess and a hole circle and a rim center connecting the rim base and the hub to one another and acting eccentrically on the rim base in longitudinal section. The motor vehicle rim is produced in one piece and continuously in a casting mold by vacuum die casting of a casting material, wherein the motor vehicle rim has a small wall thickness of at most 15 mm at least in some regions and/or a curvature with a small radius of curvature of at most 4 mm.

A magnetically coupled ball drive system for actuation of spherical surfaces and wheels is disclosed. An internal support structure interacts with exterior drive wheels magnetically to produce rotational motion. A related improvement involving reduction of slip due to insufficient traction is also presented to establish a design for a more robust and versatile device that can be used in robotics or for producing vehicle locomotion.
