    摘要: Fasteners such as bolts or nuts are locked by a ring and associated keys. The ring typically has a series of holes with the fasteners passing through these holes in the ring. The ring has an outer surface with studs extending upward therefrom. Typically one key for each fastener is placed adjacent to the ring after the fasteners are tightened against the ring in each hole of the ring. The key has a head opening which fits over a head of the fastener and keeps the fastener from rotating. The key also has a bore which fits upon the stud, with the stud preventing key rotation, and the key in turn preventing fastener rotation. A retainer such as a lock nut on a threaded stud or a snap ring in a grooved stud hold the key to the ring and keep the ring in position locking the fasteners.

    摘要: An assembly of an outer ring and a knuckle comprises an outer ring used in a wheel bearing and a knuckle for connecting the outer ring to a suspension system. The outer ring comprises a body having a hollow formed in an axial direction of a rotation axis, a mounting portion extending in an outer radial direction and a circumferential direction of the body and having a plurality of first mounting holes formed thereon, and at least one mating protrusion formed on an outer circumferential surface of the body. The knuckle comprises a step portion configured to mate with the mating protrusion in an axial direction of the body. A plurality of second mounting holes corresponding to the plurality of first mounting holes are formed on the knuckle. The mating protrusion has one of a plurality of mating shapes having different shapes.

    摘要: Disclosed are a drive wheel bearing and a method of manufacturing the same. The drive wheel bearing includes: a wheel hub which is integrally and rotatably fastened to a vehicle wheel; an inner race which is fitted with the wheel hub and integrally and rotatably coupled to the wheel hub; an outer race which rotatably supports the wheel hub and the inner race in a state in which the wheel hub and the inner race are fitted into the outer race; rolling elements which are interposed between the outer race and the wheel hub and between the outer race and the inner race; and a constant velocity joint which is integrally and rotatably connected to the wheel hub or the inner race by means of a face spline in order to receive power from an engine and transmit the received power to the vehicle wheel, in which the face spline of each of the wheel hub and the constant velocity joint have a structure in which teeth having the same size and tooth grooves having the same size radially extend, and are alternately and continuously arranged in a circumferential direction, and as a result, it is possible to smoothly transmit rotational power of the engine to the vehicle wheel through the wheel bearing.

    摘要: A vehicle wheel includes a rim having an inner peripheral surface, and a center disc. The center disc includes a disc portion, and an arm plate portion extending radially outward from the disc portion. The arm plate portion includes an outer boundary defined by a plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces and a plurality of concave boundary surfaces. The plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces have a radius equal to a radius of the inner peripheral surface of the rim. The plurality of arc outer peripheral surfaces are joined to the inner peripheral surface of the rim at a weld attachment interface to produce a plurality of holes defined by the plurality of concave boundary surfaces and the inner peripheral surface of the rim.

    摘要: A motorized vehicle assembly includes an axle comprising a channel extending along a central axis of the axle, a socket positioned within the channel of the axle, and a motorized wheel configured to be mounted on an end the axle. The motorized wheel includes a boss configured to engage the end of the axle when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle, an electric motor, a tire mounted on the rotor, and a plug positioned within the boss, the plug configured to engage with the socket when the motorized wheel is mounted on the axle. The electric motor includes a stator fixed to the boss and a rotor surrounding the stator, the rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator. The electric motor is configured to cause the rotor to rotate relative to the stator to cause the tire to rotate.

    摘要: A wheel bearing apparatus has an outer member with a body mounting flange to be mounted on a knuckle that forms part of a suspension apparatus. An inner member includes a wheel hub and at least one inner ring. The inner ring is press fit onto a cylindrical portion of the wheel hub. Double row rolling elements are contained between double row inner raceway surfaces and double row outer raceway surfaces, respectively, of the inner member and the outer member. The outer member is adapted to be fastened to the knuckle through securing bolts. A vibration damping member is interposed between opposite surfaces of the body mounting flange of the outer member and the knuckle.
