An axle assembly and a method of assembly. An outboard wheel is mounted to an outboard mounting arrangement of a wheel hub. An inboard wheel and a brake drum are mounted to an inboard mounting arrangement of the wheel hub such that a brake drum mounting arrangement of the brake drum is axially positioned between the inboard wheel and the inboard mounting arrangement.

An axle assembly having a brake drum and inboard and outboard wheels. The brake drum the inboard wheel may cooperate to inhibit movement of the inboard wheel in an inboard direction. An outboard wheel clamp and an outboard split ring may cooperate to inhibit movement of the outboard wheel in an outboard direction.

The rotation transmission state switching device comprises a clutch device comprising a first rotating member having a first-rotating-member-side engaging portion, a second rotating member having a second-rotating-member-side engaging portion, a third rotating member having a third-rotating-member-side engaging portion; and an engaging element having an engaging-element-side first engaging portion engaging with the first-rotating-member-side engaging portion, an engaging-element-side second engaging portion engaging with the second-rotating-member-side engaging portion, and an engaging-element-side third engaging portion engaging with the third-rotating-member-side engaging portion; and a restriction device configured to switch between allowing and restricting rotation of the first rotating member, allowing or preventing torque transmission between the second rotating member and the third rotating member.

An adaptive centrifugal brake assembly is disclosed. The adaptive centrifugal brake assembly controls rotational speed of a shaft. The brake assembly is adaptive and changes braking force based at least in part on torque applied to the shaft and/or the speed of rotation of the shaft. In some embodiments, the adaptive centrifugal brake assembly includes an adaptive mechanism such as a leaf spring that enables the assembly to be adaptive.

The reverse input cutoff clutch comprises a pressed member having a pressed surface, an input member arranged coaxially with the pressed surface and having an input-side engaging portion arranged radially inside the pressed surface, an output member arranged coaxially with the pressed surface and having an output-side engaging portion arranged more radially inside than the input-side engaging portion, and an engaging element arranged radially inside the pressed surface and having a pressing surface facing the pressed surface, an input-side engaged portion that engages with the input-side engaging portions, and an output-side engaged portion that engages with the output-side engaging portion. The output-side engaged portion is configured by a recessed portion, and the interior surface of the recessed portion has a pair of guided surfaces. The output-side engaging portion has a pair of guide surfaces facing the pair of guided surfaces.

An internal expanding shoe brake includes expansion pistons for forcing opposing brake shoes apart. In each expansion piston one adjusting pin is axially movably arranged and presses against a brake shoe web by means of a pressure piece. Said pressure piece is supported on the adjusting pin by means of a ball joint so as to pivot in any direction. In order to prevent the adjusting pin from being twisted inside the expansion piston, an anti-rotation element is provided and comprises a pressure piece projection which projects over the ball joint surface of the pressure piece, said projection interlockingly engaging in a receiving opening of the adjusting pin with lateral play and forming a rotational coupling connection.
