Wheelhub
The hub, also known as the wheel hub, is the central part that connects the wheel to the vehicle’s suspension system. The wheelhub usually contains bearings, flanges and mounting holes. While supporting the rotation of the wheel, it also allows the fixing of brake discs or drums.
Wheelhub acts as an axis that allows the wheel to rotate. The bearings on the hub allow the wheel to rotate with low friction. Wheelhub also plays an important role in braking operations by allowing the mounting of brake discs or drums. The wheel is bolted to the hub flange so that the wheel remains connected to the body of the vehicle through the suspension system.
Advantages of Wheelhub
- Safety: Wheelhub ensures safe mounting and rotation of the wheels. This is a critical component for vehicle safety.
- Durability: Wheelhubs are made from high-strength materials and are resistant to abrasion. They offer a long service life.
- Performance: Low-friction bearings allow the hub to operate at high performance. This increases the vehicles fuel efficiency and improves driving comfort.
- Ease of Maintenance: Wheelhubs offer practical solutions for maintenance and replacement. Failing or worn hubs are easy to replace.
