  • Patent number: 11078954
    Abstract: A hub bearing unit includes an inner ring having inboard and outboard axial ends and a bearing inner race on an outer surface. An outer ring is disposed about the inner ring and has inboard and outboard axial ends and a bearing outer race on an inner surface. One ring is coupled with a wheel and is rotatable about an axis and the other ring is fixedly coupled with a vehicle. An annular displacement limiter extends radially outwardly from the inner ring and has a radial stop surface spaced axially from the inboard end of the outer ring. The stop surface engages with the outer ring end when one ring displaces axially relative to the other ring. Preferably, the limiter is integrally formed with an annular insert providing a bearing inner race, but may be separately formed and disposed about the insert or the inner ring outer surface.

  • Patent number: 11001099
    Abstract: A vehicle wheel hub assembly includes an outer member configured to be mounted to a non-rotatable portion of the vehicle and an inner member rotatably supported in the outer member by a bearing. An annular target body is coupled to the inner member. A first magnetic target track is disposed on the annular target body, and a first sensor is located adjacent to the first magnetic target track and configured to sense angular displacement of the first magnetic target track and to produce a first output signal. A second magnetic target track is disposed on the annular target body, and the second magnetic target track is spaced from the first magnetic target track. A second sensor is located adjacent to the second magnetic target track for sensing angular displacement of the second target track and is configured to produce a second output signal.
