A bearing assembly includes a shaft, a first bearing, and a nut. The nut has a thread, which is screwed onto a threaded region formed on the shaft, and a bearing seat formed on the shaft adjoins the threaded region. The inner ring of the first bearing contacts the bearing seat, and the nut contacts the inner ring of the first bearing. The inner ring of the first bearing is arranged spaced apart from the threaded region of the shaft. A runout region of a thread cut into the threaded region of the shaft is arranged in a subsection of the bearing seat adjoining the threaded region.

An axle assembly for a vehicle including a differential assembly, a first axle tube extending outwardly from a first side of the differential assembly and defining an axle bore, a first axle shaft rotatably received in the first axle tube, and defining an annular groove extending radially inwardly from its outer surface, a retainer nut axially fixed to a distal end of the first axle tube, the retainer nut having an annular flange extending inwardly into the axle bore and defining an annular outer raceway, a snap ring received in the annular groove, and an axial thrust component disposed in the axle bore of the first axle tube between the snap ring and the outer raceway of the retainer nut.

A wear-proof tester to evaluate an anti-frictional performance of surface treatment carried on a needle cage. The needle cage is subjected to flex under the centrifugal force of composite revolution and rotation. Wear-proof test of surface treatment is carried by sliding contact between the outside circular surface of the retainer and the inside circular surface of the outside wheel. The retainer with no roller is fastened on a rotary shaft with leaving a clearance between them. A radial load is applied to retainer through a test outside wheel to get the retainer flexed to make sliding contact over a predetermined area between the outside circular surface of the retainer and the inside circular surface of the outside wheel. This wear-proof tester is applicable to the wear-proof tests of various materials other than the wear-proof test of the retainer made of various materials.
