  • Wheel hub bearing bore
    Patent number: 10300740
    Abstract: In some examples, an aircraft wheel assembly includes an axle, a bearing assembly, and a hub defining a bearing bore. The bearing bore may be configured such that the dynamic radial and axial thrust bearing reactions between the axle and the hub results in a first reaction force FR applied to the hub, the first reaction force FR having a radial component, and a second reaction force FN applied to the hub, the second reaction force FN having both a radial and an axial component.
    Type: Grant

  • Vehicle wheel including antirotation plate
    Patent number: 10226962
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel includes a first annular component, a second annular component configured to be separable from the first annular component and mechanically connected to and aligned with the first annular component about an axis of rotation of the wheel, and a plate. In some examples, when the first and second annular components are mechanically connected, the first and second annular components are configured to receive a tire and define a recess along an annular surface of the first and second annular components, the recess being configured to receive the plate. In addition, in some examples, when the plate is received in the recess, the plate inhibits relative rotation between the first annular component and the second annular component about the axis of rotation of the wheel.
