Description
BACKGROUND OF THE
In general, a bearing is a device mounted between a rotating element and a non-rotating element to facilitate rotation of the rotating element. Currently, various bearings such as roller bearings, tapered bearings, and needle bearings are used depending on the shape of rolling elements.
Wheel bearings are one type of such bearings, which rotatably connect a wheel, which is a rotating element, to a vehicle body, which is a non-rotating element. The wheel bearing includes an inner ring (and / or hub) connected to one of the wheels or the vehicle body, an outer ring connected to the other one of the wheel or the vehicle body, and a rolling member interposed between the outer ring and the inner ring.
A conventional wheel bearing assembly includes a hub that receives a driving force through a spindle of a constant velocity joint and transmits the driving force to a wheel, an inner ring provided on an outer circumferential surface of the hub, an outer ring surrounding the hub and the inner ring, And a plurality of rolling elements installed between the outer rings.
Such a wheel bearing assembly is configured such that the hub is spline (or serration) coupled with the spindle of the constant velocity joint to receive the driving force. That is, splines are formed in the axial direction on the inner peripheral surface of the hub and the outer peripheral surface of the spindle, and the inner peripheral surface of the hub and the outer peripheral surface of the spindle are spline coupled.
As described above, in the conventional wheel bearing assembly, since the spindle of the constant velocity joint is splined to the inner circumferential surface of the hub, the radius of the spline has to be small. In order to smoothly transmit the driving force, the coupling area between the splines of the hub and the spindle must be increased. Thus, in a conventional wheel bearing assembly having a small radius of the spline, the length of the spline naturally becomes long. Such an increase in the length of the spline necessarily increases the length of the spindle, thereby increasing the length and weight of the wheel bearing assembly.
In addition, in the conventional wheel bearing assembly, a preload is applied to the rolling member to improve the life. In the prior art, after pushing the inner ring into the stepped portion formed in the hub, one end of the hub is bent radially outward to fix the inner ring, and a preload is applied to the rolling element (this method is called 'orbital forming' forming ').
However, when a preload is applied to the wheel bearing by orbital forming, a strong pressure is applied to the inner ring on the radially outer side, which causes deformation. Further, since the orbital forming portion is positioned between the inner ring and the constant velocity joint, the constant velocity joint is moved away from the inner ring by the thickness of the orbital forming portion. This further increases the length of the spindle of the constant velocity joint.
Further, in the conventional wheel bearing assembly, since the radius of the spindle is small and it is difficult to form a sufficient number of splines, there is a clearance between the splines of the hub and the constant velocity joint. This causes a load , Rotational force, etc.) increase the clearance, thereby causing noise and defects.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a hub and a constant velocity joint which are spline-coupled together, And to provide a wheel bearing assembly using the same.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a wheel bearing and a wheel bearing assembly using the wheel bearing which are easy to mass-produce by facilitating engagement of the hub and constant velocity joint.

Furthermore, it is possible to control the preload applied to the rolling elements through the center bolt, and at the same time to secure the frictional engagement between the constant velocity joint and the hub and the inner ring.
