Wheel bearings are important components of a vehicle’s braking, steering, and suspension systems. The one-piece hub assembly, located between the drive axle and the brake disc or drums, incorporates the hub, wheel bearings, ABS wheel speed sensor, and mounting flange.
The bearings are tightly packed in a grease-filled, waterproof, sealed metal ring. This housing, called a race, is located inside the hub, and each wheel has one. Wheel bearings have a Herculean responsibility: They are engineered to support the vehicle’s entire weight.
• Accommodate misalignment
• High load carrying capacity
• Relubrication features
• Low friction and long service life
• Increased wear resistance
wheel hub bearing
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.
This structure makes it difficult to assemble in automobile production plants, high cost, poor reliability, and the car in the maintenance point maintenance, but also need to clean, oiling and adjustment bearings.
