20090046975 | Bearing Apparatus for a Wheel of Vehicle and an Axle Module Having the Bearing Apparatus - An axle module with a bearing apparatus has an outer joint member | 02-19-2009 |
20090069100 | Joint Assembly, A Wheel Bearing Apparatus, And The Assemblies Included In An Axle Module - A joint assembly has a pair of constant velocity universal joints and a connecting drive shaft. A cover unit protects the constant velocity universal joints and prevents hanging down of the joints under their own weight. The unit cover is arranged to cover the outer circumferential surfaces of the pair of constant velocity universal joints and boots. The unit cover is formed from elastomer material by injection molding. The cover unit inner circumferential surface has a configuration corresponding to the outline configurations of the pair of constant velocity universal joints and the boots. | 03-12-2009 |
20090136168 | Wheel Bearing Apparatus For A Driving Wheel - A wheel bearing apparatus for a driving wheel is formed as a unit of a wheel hub, a double row rolling bearing and a constant velocity universal joint. The double row rolling bearing has an outer member with a body mounting flange mounted on a knuckle and double row outer raceway surfaces. An inner member includes the wheel hub and an outer joint member of the constant velocity universal joint. The wheel hub has an inner raceway surface corresponding to one of the double row outer raceway surfaces. The outer joint member has another inner raceway surface corresponding to the other of the double row outer raceway surfaces. Double row rolling elements are rollably arranged between the outer and inner raceway surfaces. Seals are mounted in an annular space opening formed between the outer member and the inner member. A sensor is fit into a mounting aperture formed in the knuckle. A pulser ring is mounted on the outer circumferential surface of the outer joint member. It opposes the sensor via a predetermined radial gap. The outer diameter of the pulser ring is smaller than the inner diameter of the knuckle. | 05-28-2009 |

The cover unit inner circumferential surface has a configuration corresponding to the outline configurations of the pair of constant velocity universal joints and the boots. | 03-03-2011 |
20150069826 | Wheel Bearing Apparatus - A wheel bearing apparatus has an outer member, an inner member and double row rolling elements. A pulser ring is fit onto the inner ring. A second cap is fit on the inboard-side end of the outer member. A rotational speed sensor is mounted on the second cap. A cup-shaped first cap is press-fit into the inner circumference of an inboard-side end of the outer member. The first cap has a cylindrical fitting portion press-fit into the outer member. A disk portion extends radially inward from the fitting portion. The sensor abuts the disk portion. The second cap is press-fit into the inner circumference of an inboard-side end of the outer member via a predetermined interference. | 03-12-2015 |

20090129715 | Bearing Unit for Driving Wheels - A process for assembling to a knuckle member a bearing unit for driving wheels including a hub, a bearing, and a constant velocity universal joint is simplified. In order to achieve this, a hub ( | 05-21-2009 |
20090169143 | Bearing Device for Drive Wheel - A drive wheel support bearing assembly includes a hub axle, a constant velocity joint and a bearing unit which are unitized together, and an inner member made up of an outer coupling member of the CVT with the hub axle mounted on an outer periphery of a hollow stem portion of the outer coupling member. Inner peripheral side raceway surfaces are formed on the hub axle and the outer coupling member. Hardened indentations are formed in an inner periphery of the hub axle, and the hub axle and the outer coupling member are plastically coupled integrally with each other by radially outwardly expanding a mounting area, at which the hub axle is mounted on the hollow stem portion, to allow it to bite into the indentations to crimp. Sensors for detecting the displacement or deformation of the outer coupling member and the hub axle are provided in the outer member. | 07-02-2009 |
20100092122 | BEARING DEVICE FOR DRIVING WHEEL, AND ITS ASSEMBLING METHOD - Provided is a small-sized, lightweight, low-cost, and highly reliable bearing device for a driving wheel which needs no tapered spline, and eliminates a circumferential backlash in spline fitting portions to thereby prevent unusual noise. The bearing device for a driving wheel comprises an outer race ( | 04-15-2010 |
20100239202 | DOUBLE-ROW ANGULAR BEARING, BEARING DEVICE FOR WHEEL, METHOD OF PRODUCING OUTER RACE, AND METHOD OF PRODUCING INNER RACE - Provided are: a double-row angular bearing capable of enhancing its rolling life and cost reduction; a bearing device for a wheel, which is capable of reducing a number of assembling process steps in an assembly factory of automobiles and the like, is excellent in productivity, and is capable of cost reduction; and a method of producing an outer race and an inner race of a bearing, which can achieve their weight reduction to a large extent. The double-row angular bearing includes: an inner race having inner rolling surfaces on a radially outer surface thereof; an outer race having outer rolling surfaces on a radially inner surface thereof; and rolling elements rotatably housed between the outer rolling surfaces of the outer race and the inner rolling surfaces of the inner race. The outer race or the inner race is formed of a plastically worked article formed by cold rolling. | 09-23-2010 |
