Abstract: A hub assembly (A) for coupling the road wheel of a vehicle to the suspension system of the vehicle includes a hub (2) provided with a spindle (12), a housing (4) surrounding the spindle (12) of the hub (2), and an antifriction bearing (6) located between the spindle (12) and the housing (4). The bearing (6) includes tapered rollers (50) spindle (12) and a pair of tapered outer raceways (54) carried by the housing (4). One of the tapered inner raceways (34) is on a race (30) that is initially separate from the spindle (12) has an internally formed end that is received in the recess (44). The spindle (12) and inner race (30) may be engaged with splines (106, 108) and the inner race (30) may further have an axial extension (110) provided with an external spline (112) that is selectively engaged by a connect-disconnect ring (116) on a CV joint (K).

Abstract: A method of sharing manufacturing data with a consumer of a product is disclosed. A unique identifying indicia (S), such as a serial number or bar code is associated with each manufactured product (4). That identifying indicia is detected by the consumer (30) of the product, through communication with the manufacturer (2) of the product, preferably via the Internet (16). The manufacturer (2) maintains a record of both the unique identifying indicia and physical properties of the specific product corresponding to the unique identifying indicia. Upon receiving a request from the consumer of the product, the manufacturer communicates the desired physical properties of the specific product associated with the unique identifying indicia to the consumer. It is therefore possible for the consumer to avoid a step of precision physical measurement of the product, since the actual physical properties have been measured by the manufacturer and recorded previously.

Abstract: A tool (T) facilitates the installation of a hub/bearing assembly (B) on a CV joint (F) during the assembly of an automotive vehicle. The hub/bearing assembly has a housing (4), a hub (6) provided with a spindle (20) that projects into the housing, and a bearing (8) between the spindle and housing to enable the hub to rotate in the housing. The spindle contains an internal spline (34) which mates with an external spline (72) located on a half-shaft (68) of the CV joint, when the hub/bearing assembly is fitted to the CV joint, but the universal movement of the CV joint makes fitting difficult in the absence of the tool. The tool has a sleeve (90) which fits into the spline of the hub spindle and over a reduced end (74) that projects beyond the spline on the half-shaft. It aligns the two splines so that the hub is simply pushed off the sleeve and over the spline of the half-shaft.

Abstract: A seal for closing an annular space between two machine components, such as the races of an antifriction bearing, includes a case (26) which is pressed into the outer component and a shield (28) which is pressed over the inner component and has axial (38, 44) and radial walls (40, 42). The case (26) carries an elastomeric seal element (30) which establishes multiple fluid barriers along the shield (28). To this end, the seal element (30) has a mounting portion (46) which lies along the axial wall (42) of the shield (28), creating a labyrinth which is enhanced with wedge-shaped pumping cavities (54). The seal element (30) also has a contact lip portion (48) attached to the mounting portion at a groove (66) which opens generally away from the axis. The lip portion has two edges - a radially directed one along the axial wall of the shield and an axially directed one along the radial wall. The groove (66) contains a garter spring (33) which bears against the side walls (70, 72) of the groove (66), yet is remote from the bottom wall. The spring (33), which has its cross-sectional center offset from the radial edge toward the mounting portion urges the axially directed edge against the radial wall of the shield and the radially directed edge against the axial wall, thus establishing two more dynamic fluid barriers. Another elastomeric seal element (32) may be bonded to the shield (28) and its has a lip (80) which contacts the case (26), forming still another dynamic fluid barrier.

Abstract: An antifriction bearing (A) that enables a shaft (4) to rotate with minimum friction in a housing (2) includes a generally cylindrical outer race (46) located in an opening (12) in the housing, an inner race (48) located around the shaft, and rolling elements (50) arranged in rows between raceways on the outer and inner races. The outer race has a cylindrical exterior surface (56), whereas the opening in which the bearing is located has a flat wall (14, 16). A stabilizing block (C) may be attached to the outer race against its cylindrical surface, and this block lies along the flat surface of the housing opening to prevent the outer race from turning in the housing opening. A sensor module (B) is located within the environs of the bearing, and it contains a plurality of sensors (110, 112, 114) which produce signals that reflect conditions under which the bearing operates. Among the conditions monitored are speed, temperature and vibrations.

Abstract: Improved fatigue strength properties are achieved in an induction hardened microalloy steel useful for demanding service environments. The microalloy steel has low carbon and sulfur contents, comprising in % by weight, 0.15 % to 0.45 % C, 0.50 % to 1.60 % Mn, up to 0.20 % V, 0.001 % to 0.01 % S, balance Fe. The material is fabricated to a selected configuration, such as an engine crankshaft, for example. Selected surfaces of the fabricated article are hardened by induction heating. The article can be used directly after induction hardening or it may be tempered at low to moderate temperatures of from about 100 DEG C (200 DEG F) to 290 DEG C (550 DEG F) to achieve a desired surface hardness and compressive residual stress level. The controlled alloy chemistry and low tempering temperature provide a substantial increase in bending fatigue strength over conventional higher carbon grade steels.

Abstract: A wheel mounting (A, B, C, D) includes a wheel (W), a hub (4), a spindle (2) and a pair of indirectly mounted tapered roller bearings (6) and (8) between the hub (4) and the spindle (2). A seal carrier (100) and an end cover plate (122) close the end of the hub (4) and form one end of a sealed chamber (128) at the end of the spindle (2). A seal (130, 136) carried by the seal cover (100) bears against a seal surface (94) which, in effect, is carried by the spindle (2) and defines the other end of the chamber (128). A first passageway (26, 60, 64, 70, 96) connects a source of pressurized air (28) remote from the bearings (6, 8), along the spindle (2) to the chamber (128). A second passageway (44, 110, 118) connects the interior of the tire (T) through the hub (4) and end ring (100) to the chamber (128). Thus, the mounting (A, B, C, D) permits the transfer of air to or from the tire (T) while the wheel (W) is rotating.
