2. Centerlock wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centerlock_wheel

   A hollow, tapered shaft centers the wheel on the hub. Torque is transmitted by pins and matching holes at the hub-wheel interface. The retaining nut requires a large amount of torque to secure, therefore a long-handled torque wrench or a powerful impact wrench (also called a "wheel gun") is used to

3. Locking hubs - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locking_hubs

   The hub is a component where the wheel is directly mounted to, and is outside the axle. The benefits of unlocking hubs for normal road use are mainly found in increased fuel efficiency . When the front hubs are locked, even if no power is sent to the front axle (by means of a transfer case ), the turning of the wheels will still spin the front ...

4. Castellated nut - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castellated_nut

   The nut is torqued properly and then, if the slot is not aligned with the hole in the fastener, the nut is rotated forward to the nearest slot. The nut is then secured with a split pin/cotter pin, R-clip or safety wire. It is a positive locking device. [1] Castellated nuts are used in low-torque applications, such as holding a wheel bearing in ...

5. Wheel hub assembly - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_hub_assembly

   A roller bearing between the axle hub and axle shaft ensures easy rotation of the non-drive wheels. On the axle side, it is mounted to the holding bracket from the chassis; on the disc side, the wheel is mounted to the bolts of the WHA. When replacing, a wheel hub assembly should be torqued to the vehicle's specifications to prevent failure. [1]

6. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

   The preload target can be achieved by a variety of methods: applying a measured torque to the bolt, measuring bolt extension, heating to expand the bolt then turning the nut down, torquing the bolt to the yield point, testing ultrasonically, or by applying a certain number of degrees of relative rotation of the threaded components. Each method ...

7. Axle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axle

   Full-floating axle shafts are retained by a flange bolted to the hub, while the hub and bearings are retained on the spindle by a large nut. In contrast, a semi-floating design carries the weight of the vehicle on the axle shaft itself; there is a single bearing at the end of the axle housing that carries the load from the axle and that the ...
