WHEEL SUPPORT FOR TRAILER AXLES

摘要

A wheel support for trailer axles is provided and includes tapered-roller bearings disposed on an axle neck; and a hub that is rotatably mounted on the bearings. The hub serves for the mounting of a brake drum and a wheel, with a thrust washer being disposed between the axle neck and an inner taperedroller bearing, and with an axle nut being screwed onto an outer thread of the axle neck outwardly of an outer tapered-roller bearing. To provide a partial preassembly and to simplify the mounting and removal of the wheel support, the thrust washer is secured in the hub via a first snap ring, the axle nut is provided with a collar that extends to the inner wall of the hub, and the axle nut is secured at its collar in the hub via a second snap ring.
