Abstract: A fuel-saving apparatus using a variable preload of vehicle bearings is provided. The fuel-saving apparatus includes a housing that supports a driving shaft of a vehicle, a bearing that is mounted in the housing and rotatably supports the driving shaft, and a variable preload unit that is provided at the housing or a side adjacent to the housing and applies a preload to an outer wheel or an inner wheel of the bearing. The fuel-saving apparatus using such a variable preload may reduce a driving load acting on the driving shaft by a fixed preload acting by the bearing, thereby reducing the driving load of an engine and saving fuel.

Abstract: A bearing variable preload system utilizing gaps between strokes for preload adjustment and elastic deformation of a sealing member, according to the present invention, comprises: a housing; bearings provided to the housing; a spindle coupled to the inner wheels of the bearings so as to rotate; and a variable preload unit provided to the housing, applying variable preload to the outer wheels of the bearings; a chamber comprised inside a variable preload unit in which the airtightness is maintained by a sealing member located between the housing member and pressing member touched with the outer wheels of the bearing; a pressure supply unit supplying air or oil pressure to a chamber through a supply pipe provided to the housing so as to vary a preload applied to the outer wheel of the bearing.
