摘要： A seal assembly includes a protective shield, a seal and a seal wiper. A garter spring is located about the outer perimeter of the seal to provide a constricting force around the seal to assure that the lips contact the seal wiper even after deformation and wear of the seal assembly. Another seal assembly includes an integrally shielded seal manufactured of a non-metallic material.

摘要： An axle housing assembly includes web members that define lubricant containment chambers within an interior space of a housing. Each lubricant containment chamber contains a fixed amount of lubricant. The containment chambers defined within the housing confine lubricant to critical areas to reduce the amount of lubricant required within the housing to properly lubricate internal components.

摘要： An axle system includes an axle shaft offset located within an axle center beam housing. The axle shaft is located in a recess in a top wall of the axle center beam shaped with slopes to maximize clearance to the bottom of the vehicle floor panels. The pneumatic brake cylinders define a cylinder axis angled within an angular range from a generally vertical orientation for enhanced packaging.

摘要： An electric drive axle includes a pair of center mounted electric motors that independently drive a pair of laterally spaced wheels. The electric drive axle includes an axle housing assembly that extends between the pair of laterally spaced wheels. Both center mounted electric motors preferably do not include connections to a chassis and are solely supported by the axle housing assembly near a vehicle centerline.

摘要： A differential is provided by a cam associated with each of the first and second output shafts of the differential. A moving member moves axially relative to the cams when the shafts are rotating at different speeds. The moving member is driven by the differential case, and in turn, drives the two cams. The cams are fixed to rotate with respective output shafts. As the differential speed of the two cams increases, the moving member moves axially at an increasing speed. Hydraulic fluid is positioned in chambers at each end of the first moving member and limits the speed of axial reciprocation of the first moving member. As the hydraulic fluid resists additional increase in speed of the first moving member, the first moving member begins to drive the two cams, and hence the two shafts, at a more equal speed.

摘要： A drive unit for a vehicle wheel assembly includes an input gear set driven by an electric motor, a planetary gear set driven by the input gear set, and an output shaft driven by the planetary gear set. An adapter is used to attach a wheel rim and a brake component for rotation with the output shaft, which is rotatably supported by a wheel bearing. The input gear set and the planetary gear set are positioned outboard of the electric motor and inboard of the brake component. The brake component can be easily removed without requiring removal of the planetary gear set or any wheel bearings. Only the wheel rim and the adapter have to be removed in order to remove the brake component.

摘要： A suspension for a steering axle includes two links extending from the axle laterally inwardly to be attached to a lateral shackle plate. The lateral shackle plate is pivotally attached to the vehicle frame. The links may be two separate members, or may be a single V-shaped member. The links operate to transfer lateral loads between the two sides of a vehicle receiving the suspension.

摘要： A speed reducer utilizes a cam driver and a cam follower both having sinusoidal grooves. The numbers of peaks and valleys in the cam driver and the cam follower grooves are controlled to achieve a desired change in speed between an input shaft and an output shaft. The use of the cam drive system allows a wide range of speed control in a relatively small package, and further ensures quiet operation.
