A wheel hub is configured to rotate about an axis of rotation during operation, and includes a brake disk abutment surface against which a brake disk bears in an installed state, and a wheel-hub-side contact surface which is offset in an axial direction with respect to the brake disk abutment surface and which runs obliquely with respect to the axis of rotation and against which at least a part of a fastening assembly, by which the brake disk is fastenable or fastened to the wheel hub, bears in the installed state.

A wheel assembly includes an inboard wheel portion having a rim and a disk. A radially inward surface of the rim and an inboard surface of the disk define a wheel well cavity configured to house a brake assembly. The wheel assembly also includes a torque bar (e.g., a torque bar of the brake assembly) mounted to the inboard wheel portion. Further, the wheel assembly includes a retainer coupled to the torque bar and disposed radially between the torque bar and the radially inward surface of the rim of the inboard wheel portion. The retainer includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a body extending between the first end and the second end. The body includes opposing longitudinal sides configured to respectively engage and retain a respective heat shield segment of a segmented annular heat shield.

An adapter of a brake system includes a body that extends around a portion of an axle of a vehicle system. The body may include an interior portion that is positioned between a center passage of the body and an exterior portion of the body in a radial direction away from the center passage. A hub coupling feature is positioned on the interior portion of the body and may be coupled with a portion of a wheel hub of the vehicle system. A brake disc coupling feature is positioned on the exterior portion of the body and may be coupled with a portion of a brake disc assembly. The wheel hub and the brake disc assembly are incompatible such that the wheel hub is prohibited from being directly coupled with the brake disc assembly.

A disk rotor of a vehicle brake with improved efficiency in cooling the disk rotor by a synergy effect that comes from ensuring velocity of airflow flowing between cooling fins, ensuring surface areas of the cooling fins, and generating turbulent flow by second fins. A plurality of cooling fins each extending radially from an inner peripheral edge to an outer peripheral edge of a disk rotor are provided inside the disk rotor at intervals in the circumferential direction. Each of the plurality of the cooling fins includes a radial fin extending radially and a second fin spaced apart from the radial fin in the radial direction.

A wheel hub for a utility vehicle includes a brake element abutment surface against which a brake element bears in an installed state, and a positive-locking arrangement which interacts in positively locking fashion, as viewed in a direction of rotation, with the brake element in the installed state, and/or a receiving region for a positive-locking arrangement which interacts in positively locking fashion, as viewed in a direction of rotation, with the brake element in the installed state.

An attachment assembly for connection two panels of a heat shield assembly, the attachment assembly comprising: a first attachment feature to be provided, in use, extending from a first edge of a first panel of the heat shield and a second attachment feature to be provided, in use, on and to extend from a second edge of a second panel to be attached to the first panel; wherein the first attachment feature comprises a tab portion extending from a first end attached, in use to the first edge of the first panel, a bend at the other end of the tab portion, and a hook portion extending from the bend in a direction generally circumferentially towards the first end but at an angle to the tab portion.

The brake disc arrangement (10) comprises a brake disc (20) which extends annularly about an axially extending central axis and defines an inwardly facing circumference comprising a splined portion for transferring torques between the brake disc (20) and a corresponding hub, when the brake disc arrangement (10) is mounted to the hub. The brake disc arrangement further comprises a spring assembly (30) adapted to be axially connected to the corresponding hub. The inwardly facing circumference of the brake disc (20) comprises one or more cavities (24), each cavity (24) being defined by axially opposing lateral walls (26). The spring assembly (30) is partially contained in said one or more cavities (24), such that a portion of the spring assembly (30) may abut each one out of the axially opposing lateral walls (26).

A brake drum for utility vehicles configured to mount rotatably about an axis of rotation and including a friction section and a connection section, wherein the friction section includes a friction surface and a plurality of transmission structures, wherein the connection section comprises at least one mounting surface and a plurality of transfer structures, wherein the transfer structures engage positively and/or nonpositively in the respective complementary transmission structures so that a torque about the axis of rotation can be transmitted positively, and wherein the mounting surface serves to fix the brake drum indirectly or directly to a hub.

An eccentric wheel adjustment device includes a hub (1), an adjustment disk (2) and a release structure (3). The hub (1) has an axle portion (10) eccentrically arranged and an inner ring portion (11) formed around the axle portion (10). The adjustment disk (2) has a disk seat (20) for the hub (1) being pivotally disposed thereon and a positioning member (21) for positioning the hub (1) on the disk seat (20). The positioning member (21) has an outer ring portion (210) for aligning the inner ring portion (11) of the hub (1) in the outer ring portion (210). The release structure (3) includes a limiting block (30) and a switch member (31) driving the limiting block (30) to act so as to drive the limiting block (30) to straddle between the hub (1) and the adjustment disk (2) or to move back to the inner ring portion (11).

A brake rotor having first and second panels and first and second sets of mounting flanges. The first set of mounting flanges may extend from the first panel and may be spaced apart from the second panel. The second set of mounting flanges may extend from the second panel and may be spaced apart from the first set of mounting flanges.
