An annular front surface of the phonic wheel is equidistant from a plane perpendicular to the axis, and a possible deflected position, in which the annular front surface of the phonic wheel is arranged equidistant from an annular reading wall.

An axle assembly and method of reworking an axle assembly. The axle assembly has an axle housing and a differential carrier assembly. A central portion of the axle housing has an opening that is defined by an axle flange that has a first mating surface. The differential carrier assembly has a differential mounted on a carrier. The carrier has a carrier flange that has a second mating surface. The first mating surface is sealed to the second mating surface by seal. At least one of the first and second mating surfaces includes a groove.

In one aspect of the present disclosure, a wheel hub assembly is provided that includes a hub body having an outboard end portion and an inboard end portion, a bearing assembly, and a seal. The seal includes a seal case and a sleeve. The hub body and seal case are rotatable relative to the sleeve. The wheel hub assembly further includes a stop of the bearing assembly configured to resist movement of the sleeve toward the outboard end portion of the hub body as the hub body, bearing assembly, and sleeve are advanced together in an inboard direction along a vehicle spindle. The stop permits the bearing assembly to transfer a force applied in an inboard axial direction against the bearing assembly, such as by tightening of a spindle nut, to the sleeve and urge the sleeve along a vehicle spindle.

A vehicle wheel hub assembly includes an outer member configured to be mounted to a non-rotatable portion of the vehicle and an inner member rotatably supported in the outer member by a bearing. An annular target body is coupled to the inner member. A first magnetic target track is disposed on the annular target body, and a first sensor is located adjacent to the first magnetic target track and configured to sense angular displacement of the first magnetic target track and to produce a first output signal. A second magnetic target track is disposed on the annular target body, and the second magnetic target track is spaced from the first magnetic target track. A second sensor is located adjacent to the second magnetic target track for sensing angular displacement of the second target track and is configured to produce a second output signal.

According to the present invention, a wheel width direction (Y) cross-section of a well portion (11A) comprises: a hump portion (H1) and a hump portion (H2) that protrude to the outside (Z1) in a wheel radial direction (Z); and a curved surface (11s) that connects hump portion (H1) and hump portion (H2) and is sunken to the inside (Z2) in the wheel radial direction (Z). The curved surface (11s) is formed as a series of circular arcs (11e, 11f, 11g) that have centers of curvature (O1, O2, O3) that are further to the outside (Z1) in the wheel radial direction (Z) than the curved surface (11s).

An electromotive drive wheel arrangement for a motor vehicle comprises: a stator that is connectable to a wheel carrier in a rotationally fixed manner and that supports a coil-like winding, and a rotor rotatably supported relative to the stator and configured in the form of a wheel rim and arranged at least partially radially outside around the stator, wherein the wheel rim comprises a rim base and a rim star, connected to each other, wherein the rim base includes at least partially a fiber-reinforced plastic, and in the rim base several magnets are integrated in a material connection, and that the rim star includes at least partially a metal material.

Work aid for a hairdresser, comprising a mobile frame on which frame a seat surface or at least one storage surface is arranged, wherein the frame comprises at least one castor being arranged rotatably in a fork head, and the castor being arranged on an axle, which axle is arranged insertably in each case with a first end portion on a first fork-shaped receptacle on the fork head and with a second end portion on a second fork-shaped receptacle on the fork head.

A face seal for use within a wheel assembly may include an inner sealing ring and an outer sealing ring. The outer sealing ring may include a first flange, a second flange and an outer cylindrical portion extending between the first and second flanges. The outer cylindrical portion may include a first cylindrical section extending axially from the first flange and a second cylindrical section extending axially between the first cylindrical section and the second flange. The face seal may also include an inner elastomeric ring and an outer elastomeric ring having an axial portion extending radially outwardly from the second cylindrical section of the outer cylindrical portion. Additionally, the axial portion may be radially offset from the first cylindrical section of the outer cylindrical portion such that an outer surface of the first cylindrical section is spaced radially outwardly relative to an outer surface of the axial portion.

Wheel bearing units are disclosed. In one example, a wheel bearing unit includes an outer ring element and an inner ring element, between which there are arranged at least two rolling body rows. The inner ring element may have a radial flange which is fastenable to an axle body or to a wheel. A face surface, which faces toward the radial flange, of the outer ring element may have at least one projection.
