VEHICULAR WHEEL ASSEMBLY

摘要

A vehicular wheel assembly (24) includes a first bearing component (42) configured to be coupled to a frame of a vehicle (10), a second bearing component (44) rotatably coupled to the first bearing component (42), and a brake mechanism (40) coupled to the second bearing component (44). The motor (36) includes a stator (62) and a rotor (64). The stator (62) is coupled to the first bearing component (42) and the rotor (64) is coupled to the second bearing component (44) such that rotation of the rotor (64) relative to the stator (62) causes the second bearing component (44) to rotate relative to the first bearing component (42). The brake mechanism (40) is between the motor (36) and the frame and is configured to slow the rotation of the second bearing component (44) and the rotor (64).
