Abstract: The present invention relates to a structure and a method for coupling a wheel bearing that include a wheel hub for mounting a vehicle wheel, a hollow inner ring press-fitted into an end portion of the wheel hub, an annular outer ring disposed at a radial exterior of the wheel hub and the inner ring, and rolling elements disposed between the wheel hub or the inner ring and the outer ring, wherein the wheel hub and the inner ring are splined to each other and the inner ring and the joint member are coupled through facial spline. According to the present invention, driving torque of a constant velocity joint may be stably delivered to the wheel hub and noise may be reduced.

Abstract: A tapered roller wheel bearing assembly may include: a hub provided with a hub flange for mounting a wheel formed radial outwardly at an end portion thereof and a hub raceway formed at a side portion close to the hub flange; an outer ring enclosing the hub and provided with an outer raceway corresponding to the hub raceway on an interior circumference thereof; and a tapered roller disposed between the hub raceway and the outer raceway and allowing a relative rotation of the hub and the outer ring, wherein a flange base is formed between the hub flange and the hub raceway and a first undercut for grinding the hub raceway is formed at the flange base, and wherein a second undercut for dispersing stress concentrated on the first undercut is further formed at the flange base.

Abstract: There is provided a hub bearing unit with multiple rows of rolling elements. A hub has one or more inner race surfaces. An inner ring is seated on an outer peripheral surface of the hub and has one or more inner race surfaces thereon. An outer ring is formed with outer race surfaces as many as inner race surfaces formed at the hub and the inner ring. Rolling elements are disposed between the outer race surfaces and the inner race surfaces. Cages are disposed to maintain circumferential intervals of the rolling elements. The outer ring is formed with three or more outer race surfaces. The rolling elements are arranged in three or more rows. The arrangement of multiple-row rolling elements enhances the life of the bearing. Manufacturing costs are curtailed and rolling resistance is reduced compared to the tapered roller bearing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to device and method for manufacturing a wheel bearing assembly that reduces an error rate by reducing stress concentrated on rolling elements in manufacturing processes of the wheel bearing assembly. The device for manufacturing a wheel bearing assembly may include: a base, on which a hub is mounted, supporting the hub in a case of orbital-forming; a forming tool mounting portion mounted above the base; a rotating portion rotatably connected to an outer ring and rotating or pivoting the outer ring about a hub axis in a case of the orbital-forming; and a forming tool mounted at the forming tool mounting portion, rotating on a first axis slanted to the hub axis by a predetermined angle, and simultaneously orbiting about a second axis parallel with the hub axis.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of measuring a clearance of a hub bearing for vehicles. A hub is fixed to a lower jig when a row of hub-side balls is disposed and an outer ring is disposed on an outer periphery of the hub and a row of inner ring-side balls and an inner ring are disposed. A press-fit jig is contacted to the inner ring and a load of less than 5 kgf is applied to an outer surface of the outer ring to prevent its vibration and movement. A gauge is installed to a portion of the outer ring. The inner ring is gradually press-fitted by the jig. An amount of press-fit of the inner ring is measured from when the gauge begins to move when press-fitting of the inner ring is completed. The amount of clearance is simply measured.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an axle assembly of a wheel where a hub and a brake disk are integrally formed.
