摘要： A system and method for adjusting wheel-end tapered roller bearing preload force on an axle spindle with a diameter, a longitudinal groove or flat, and a thread pattern to receive an adjustment nut, having an inner washer, an inner adjustment nut, an outer washer with first detent features and an outer adjustment nut with second detent features. The first and second detent features interact so as to define at least one detent position between the outer washer and the outer adjustment nut for adjusting the preload force.

摘要： Improved systems and methods facilitate precise adjustment of wheel-end tapered roller bearing preload force on an axle spindle with a diameter, a longitudinal groove or flat, and a thread pattern to receive a hexagonal adjustment nut with six outer edges. A basic system includes a flat round inner washer having an inner diameter corresponding to the diameter of the axle, an outer diameter, an inner surface, and outer surface and an outer edge. The inner washer includes a tab or D-shape to cooperate with a groove or flat, respectively on the axle to ensure that the washer does not rotate following installation. A plurality of markings are provided on the outer surface or the outer edge of the inner washer, each marking indicating the amount of rotation needed to cause a 0.001″ lateral movement of the adjustment nut as a function of the diameter and thread pattern of the axle.

摘要： An interlocking nut and washer system complies with new standards identified in the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Recommended Practice J2535, Setting Preload in Heavy-Duty Wheel Bearings, and with maintenance recommendations issued by the Technology Maintenance Council (TMC) Recommended Practice RP618, Wheel Bearing Adjustment Procedure. The system includes an improved inner washer, adjustment nut, intermediate washer, and outer nut that interlocks with the intermediate washer following the introduction of an established level of preload force by the adjustment nut. The inner washer isolates the adjustment nut from the inner bearing race to eliminate frictional wear. An increase in outer diameter of the inner washer provides an interference capability that serves as a safety factor to prevent separation of the wheel hub from the axle spindle in event of bearing failure. The inner washer includes markers to establish the final adjusted preload or the endplay position of the adjustment nut.

摘要： The spindle ends of an axle of conventional design are provided with either right hand or left hand threads to receive respective axle nuts in combination with special lock ring fasteners. A nut of standard configuration used for tapered roller bearing adjustment and hereafter described as the adjustment nut is threaded into position having torque applied to it in a controlled manner to achieve specific preload bearing pressure against the inner race of the outer wheel bearing through a washer whose internal tab projects into the spindle keyway after which a threaded lock ring is rotated into contact with the adjustment nut. Having achieved positive positioning of the threaded lock ring in bearing contact with the adjustment nut, a retainer is installed to secure the lock ring in position on the threads of the axle spindle preventing further rotational movement. With the threaded lock ring secured in position to prevent any outward movement of either the wheel assembly components or the inner adjustment nut, the adjustment nut is rotated in the opposite direction by which it was installed until it jams forcibly against the threaded lock ring. With this rotational movement of the adjustment nut, the original bearing pressure or preload exerted outward against the adjustment nut is transferred and begins to bear against the threaded lock ring. Because of this action, the adjustment nut is converted from a load bearing fastener to that of a spacer and its new purpose is to control the spatial relationship between the inner race of the outer bearing and the threaded lock ring. Even with additional rotational movement and application of a specified amount of torque to the adjustment nut, the original preload bearing pressure is retained, but a jammed condition develops between the adjustment nut and the threaded lock ring making the installation safely secure for highway operations.

摘要： The end of an axle spindle is provided with right hand and left hand threads to receive respective axle nuts. The inner nut thread diameter is larger than the outer nut thread diameter in order to avoid interference. The wheel, bearings and an inner nonrotatable washer on the axle spindle are secured in place by tightening the inner nut to an initial snug (no clearance) condition against the face of the nonrotatable washer. One of eight holes on the outer face of the inner nut receives a projecting pin of a spacing control device which pin projects a predetermined distance. The outer nut is turned until the spacing control device engages one of the eight recesses. Then the flats of both nuts are tightened by a spanner wrench which causes the inner nut to "back off". The method is to create a space between nuts (e.g. by use of a shim spacer) which converts to an appropriate clearance space between the inner nut and nonrotatable washer in the final condition and to maintain that space in the final condition.
