METHOD FOR MOUNTING OF A BEARING IN A WHEEL HUB, AND A WHEEL MANUFACTURED BY THE METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns a method for mounting a bearing in a wheel hub, and a wheel manufactured by the method. In the method a wheel body (12, 12) is placed in a mould (44, 46) with a tubular-shaped bearing (14) placed in a hub part (20) of the wheel body. An annular tread (30) is die cast around the outer periphery (18) of the wheel body (12, 12), preferably at the same time as the bearing (14) is fixed in the hub part of the wheel body (20) by a die casting (50) at least partly surrounding the bearing. The hub part (20) in the wheel according to the invention comprises axially separated, annular arranged support members (24, 24') having at least one axial opening (26) and engaging radially a casing part (32) of the bearing (14). The bearing is thereby axially fixed by means of a die cast, elastic plastic material in a space (50) between the outer casing part (32) and an inner wall surface (22) of the hub part (20).
