Hub bearing is the main role of bearing and provide accurate guidance for the rotation of the hub, it bears both axial load and radial load, is a very important part. The traditional automobile wheel bearings are composed of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings. The installation, oiling, sealing and clearance adjustment of bearings are all carried out on the automobile production line.
Hub bearing unit is developed on the basis of standard angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings. It combines the two sets of bearings as one. It has the advantages of good assembly performance, can omit clearance adjustment, light weight, compact structure, large load capacity, for sealing bearings can be loaded into grease beforehand, omit the external hub seal and avoid maintenance, etc., and has been widely used in cars. There is also a trend of gradually expanding the application in the truck.
