Wheel bearing for a utility vehicle
View Patent ↗The invention relates to wheel bearing that is intended for a utility vehicle and includes a sleeve-shaped carrier shaft, in which an axle of the utility vehicle can be received in a concentric manner; a wheel hub; and a first roller bearing and a second roller bearing for rolling the wheel hub relative to the carrier shaft. In this case the second roller bearing is clamped axially against the first roller bearing on the sleeve-shaped carrier shaft by means of a press ring.
1. A utility vehicle comprising:
a frame with a rigid axle, the rigid axle including a first axial groove in a radially outer surface of the rigid axle;
a wheel; and,
a wheel bearing comprising,
a sleeve-shaped carrier shaft, in which the rigid axle of the utility vehicle is received in a concentric manner, the sleeve-shaped carrier shaft including:
a first radially outermost surface with a first plurality of threads;
a first lug extending radially inward into the first axial groove; and,
a second lug extending radially outward;
a wheel hub;
a first roller bearing and a second roller bearing for rolling the wheel hub relative to the carrier shaft; and,
a press ring including:
a radially innermost surface with a second plurality of threads engaged with the first plurality of threads to axially clamp the first and second roller bearings on the sleeve-shaped carrier shaft;
a second radially outermost surface; and,
a second axial groove in the second radially outermost surface, wherein:
the second roller bearing is clamped axially against the first roller bearing on the sleeve-shaped carrier shaft by means of the press ring; and,
a portion of the second lug is disposed in the second axial groove.
2. The utility vehicle as recited in claim 1 , wherein the carrier shaft is axially secured on the axle by means of a securing element that protrudes at least partially radially over the press ring.
