[0002] The wheel hub is the part of the wheel center where the axle is installed. It is an important part that connects the brake drum (or brake disc), wheel disc and half-axle. It is mounted on the axle tube or steering knuckle journal with a bearing sleeve. The wheel hub is equipped with a wheel hub bearing. A small amount of grease can be added, but do not add too much grease, otherwise it will increase resistance and even cause overflow. The wheel hub and spokes of the spoke wheel are cast as one body, with high strength, and are mainly used for heavy-duty vehicles.

[0003] When the wheel hub is manufactured, a wheel hub mold frame is required;

[0004] The working principle of the wheel hub mold frame mainly includes the following steps:
