Bearing Common Sense: Detailed Analysis of "Automotive Wheel"

Source: Bearing Network | Date: August 13, 2013

Traditional automotive wheel bearings typically consist of two sets of tapered roller bearings or ball bearings. These components are assembled, lubricated, sealed, and adjusted during the vehicle's production line. However, this design presents several challenges. It is difficult to install at the car manufacturing plant, costly, and often results in poor reliability. Additionally, when a vehicle requires maintenance, the bearing must be removed, re-lubricated, and re-adjusted at the repair shop. In contrast, the hub bearing unit has been developed based on standard angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings. This unit integrates two sets of bearings into one compact assembly. It offers excellent assembly performance, eliminates the need for play adjustment, reduces weight, and provides a more compact layout with a higher load capacity. The hub bearing unit can be pre-filled with grease and sealed, eliminating the need for an external hub. As a result, it requires no maintenance once installed and is now widely used in passenger cars. Its application is also expanding rapidly in commercial trucks. This type of bearing not only improves the efficiency of vehicle assembly but also enhances long-term performance and reliability. With the advancement of automotive technology, the use of integrated hub bearing units is becoming increasingly common in modern vehicles.
