Embodiment Construction

[0026] The technology of the present application will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and in which are shown by way of illustration certain illustrative examples. These examples are disclosed in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the techniques of the application. Examples may, however, be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein. Accordingly, the following detailed description should not be viewed as limiting.

[0027] The technology of the present application is described with specific reference to integral wheel end assemblies. In this particular illustrative example, integral means that the majority of the wheel end assembly is assembled prior to installation on the axle / spindle. Typically, a one-piece wheel end assembly includes at least an inner bearing assembly and an outer bearing assembly held...

Abstract

A wheel end is provided. The wheel end includes a spacer having a plurality of perforations to fluidly communicate the hub groove with a cavity between the spacer and the spindle to facilitate lubricant flow.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 568,686, filed October 5, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The technology of the present invention relates generally to wheel ends for vehicles. Background technique [0004] Wheel end assemblies typically include a body or hub that defines a cavity that houses the axle, spindle, etc. The main body houses the inner bearing assembly, the spacer, and the outer bearing assembly. Spacers are typically used to maintain the distance between the inner and outer bearing assemblies and may allow limited movement of both so that the bearings and associated races / cones can be properly seated. [0005] The inner bearing assembly is on the inner side and is bounded by an oil seal. The oil seal secures the inner side of the wheel end assembly to prevent further movement of the inner bearings, spacers, etc. End caps are...
