An apex axle truss system includes a first apex axle truss including a sheet of metal that has been bent to form a first substantially vertical wall, second substantially vertical wall, first angled wall, and second angled wall. The first substantially vertical wall is configured to be secured to a first lateral side of an axle housing. The second substantially vertical wall is configured to be secured to a second lateral side of the axle housing. The first angled wall is disposed between the first substantially vertical wall and the second substantially vertical wall. The second angled wall is disposed between the first angled wall and the second substantially vertical wall. The first angled wall and the second angled wall form an apex that is configured to be disposed over an upper surface of the axle housing.

A non-pneumatic tire (1) of the present invention is provided with: an attachment body (11) attached to an axle; an outer cylindrical body (13) which surrounds the attachment body (11) from the outside in a tire radial direction; a coupling member (15) which displaceably couples the attachment body (11) and the outer cylindrical body (13); a cylindrical tread member (16) which is wrapped externally around the outer cylindrical body (13); and a protective member (41) which covers a side surface in a tire width direction (H) of the outer cylindrical body (13) from the outside in the tire width direction (H).

A bearing device includes a bearing having an outer race with double-row outer raceway surfaces formed on its inner periphery, a hub wheel and an inner race having double-row inner raceway surfaces formed on outer peripheries thereof opposed to the outer raceway surfaces, and double-row rolling elements interposed between the outer and inner raceway surfaces. The bearing has a constant velocity universal joint separably coupled thereto with a screw fastening structure, in which a stem section of an outer joint member of the constant velocity universal joint is fitted to an inner diameter portion of the hub wheel, and in which a plurality of convex portions extending in an axial direction are formed on the stem section, and a plurality of concave portions having an interference with respect to only circumferential side wall portions of each of the plurality of convex portions are formed on the hub wheel.

An aircraft wheel including a rim (2) comprising two assembled-together rim halves (3a, 3b), each rim half (3a, 3b) having a bearing surface (7) extending in a plane perpendicular to an axis of rotation (X) of the aircraft wheel. The aircraft wheel further includes a spacer (9) situated between the two bearing surfaces (7) when the rim halves (3a, 3b) are assembled together.

An axle housing assembly and a method of manufacture. A friction weld may join a spindle to an arm portion of the axle housing assembly. An extension weld may encircle the arm portion. The extension weld may extend from the friction weld in a direction that may extend away from the spindle.

Disclosed is a method for producing a vehicle wheel with a connection between a wheel rim and a wheel disc in which the wheel disc is connected to the wheel rim by means of at least one connecting element that is guided through a through-hole of the rim base and is joined in the wheel disc. After the joining of the connecting element in the wheel disc a portion of the head of the connecting element projects beyond the rim base on the outer side of the rim. Subsequently the head of the connecting element is at least partially removed.

Disclosed are modular mechanical assemblies formed from durable, corrosion resistant components with sufficient strength to maintain efficient operation. The modular mechanical assemblies include a novel torsion axle assembly having a cartridge that houses a torsion bar with a splined tip. A load bearing, relatively incompressible bushing is optionally disposed about the torsion bar. The cartridge is inserted into an axle tube, and an end cap is placed over the cartridge and torsion bar. The end cap is affixed to the axle tube such that the bushing is secured within a bore in the end cap. The torsion bar tip extends through the bushing and end cap and is secured within a torsion arm. A spindle is also secured within the torsion arm. One or more components of the torsion axle assembly are made from a low alloy, medium carbon steel material that provides corrosion resistance and advantageous yield and ultimate strength properties. One or more components of the assembly can also be coated to improve corrosion resistance. Suitable coating techniques include, but are not limited to liquid ferritic nitrocarburizing, gas nitriding, electroless nickel plating, or a diamond like carbon coating process.

A puller/installer comprises a draw plate, a split ring, a cap plate, and at least one draw member. The draw plate defines a draw plate cam surface. The split ring defines at least one split plate cam surface and is arranged such that the at least one split plate cam surface is in contact with the draw plate cam surface. The at least one draw member is arranged to draw the cap plate and the draw plate towards each other such that the draw plate cam surface engages the at least one split plate cam surface to deform the split ring to alter an effective diameter of the bearing race puller/installer.

Systems and methods for a heat-insulated wheel are disclosed herein. A wheel may comprise a wheel body comprising an outer diameter surface, an inner rim on an inboard side of the wheel body, an outer rim on an outboard side of the wheel body opposite the inner rim, and a heat insulator coupled to the outer diameter surface between the inner rim and the outer rim.

A moving mechanism configured to be assembled to an object to adjust a movement of the object is provided. The moving mechanism includes a bracket, a first wheel, a brake module, a control module, and a sensing module. The bracket is assembled to the object. The first wheel and the brake module are assembled to the bracket. The control module communicates with and drives the brake module. The sensing module communicates with the brake module, and the sensing module is configured to sense an orientation of the object. The control module adjusts a brake force of the brake module on the first wheel based on the orientation of the object.
