A mathematical model of the dimensional chain for a generation 2 wheel hub unit

Adamczak, Stanisĺaw (author), Gajur, Marek (author), Kuźmicki, Krzysztof (author)

This article overviews wheel hub design solutions and proposes a mathematical model of the dimensional chain and a tolerance formula for calculating axial clearance for a generation 2 wheel hub assembly with ball bearings. The dimensional chain analysis and its synthesis are carried out using three partial interchangeability methods. The possibility of manufacturing the hub bearing using selection compensation was proposed. The considerations made provide an alternative to the current method of process design based on numerous trials and considerable cost.

Abstract

Članek predstavlja pregled konstrukcijskih rešitev pesta kolesa ter predlaga matematični model dimenzijske verige in enačbo za izračun tolerance za izračun osne zračnosti za sklop pesta kolesa 2. generacije s krogličnimi ležaji. Analiza dimenzijske verige in njena sinteza sta izvedeni z uporabo treh metod delne zamenljivosti. Predlagana je bila možnost izdelave ležaja pesta z uporabo izbirne kompenzacije. Opravljeni razmisleki predstavljajo alternativo sedanji metodi načrtovanja procesa, ki temelji na številnih poskusih in precejšnjih stroških.
