SKF is a supplier of original equipment wheel bearings, hubs and seals to most of the world’s leading automakers. SKF wheel hub bearing units carry a flange for wheel and brake rotor attachment and a second flange for fixing the unit to the suspension. This fully integrated system provides a significant simplification in corner design and handling when compared with more traditional designs. The dynamic load carrying capacity is maximized by the use of a separate inner ring for the inboard ball row. This ring is mounted with an interference fit. The outer ring flange is bolted to the suspension. The rotating inner ring, with its tough flange, spigot and threaded holes or studs, is designed for mounting of the brake and wheel. Greased and sealed for life, the SKF wheel hub assembly is used for both driven and non-driven wheel applications. For driven wheel applications, torque is transmitted to the inner ring via an included spline.
