Product catalog summary
Overview of 3rd Generation Ball Hub Units
The document outlines the development and features of JTEKT's 3rd generation ball hub units, emphasizing their easy assembly, high reliability, lightweight design, long service life, and safety factors. These units have evolved from the 1st and 2nd generations, integrating flanges for easier vehicle installation and incorporating built-in sensors for enhanced functionality.
Generational Evolution
The evolution from 1st to 3rd generation hub units shows a trend towards increased added value through size and weight reductions. The 3rd generation units integrate both the inner and outer rings with flanges, offering improved performance and ease of installation.
Technical Specifications and Features
JTEKT hub units are designed to support vehicle weight and assist in the transmission of driving force. They are built to be lightweight with low rotating friction, enhancing fuel efficiency while maintaining strength and rigidity. Key features include superior lubrication, fretting resistance, and muddy water resistance, achieved through advanced materials and design.
Materials and Design
The hub units use high-quality materials such as carbon steels and high carbon chromium bearing steels, ensuring high abrasion resistance and excellent rolling fatigue life. The design focuses on reducing the number of parts and overall weight, with a clinched shaft end for space-saving benefits.
Testing and Global Support
JTEKT conducts rigorous testing at the Iga Proving Ground, simulating various road and weather conditions to ensure product safety and performance. The company provides global technical support with centers in Japan, the Americas, Europe, China, and Southeast Asia.
Hub Unit Recommendations
The document includes a list of recommended hub unit numbers for different vehicle classes and axle loads, providing basic installation specifications for both driving and driven wheels.
