Wheel Hub

What is a Wheel Hub?

A wheel hub is a component that ensures the wheels are securely connected to the chassis and supports the rotation of the wheel. While controlling the movement of the wheels, the wheel hub is critical for the vehicle's handling and stability. Especially in commercial vehicles, durable wheel hub systems are necessary to ensure safe driving. VADEN ORIGINAL provides high-quality wheel hub components for commercial vehicles, ensuring long-lasting use and safety.

How a Wheel Hub Works

The wheel hub works together with the wheel bearing and hub, allowing the wheel to rotate freely. The wheel bearing minimizes friction between the wheel and the hub, allowing the wheel to rotate more smoothly. The hub also ensures that the wheel is securely fastened, while helping the wheel remain stable on the road while the vehicle is in motion. VADEN ORIGINAL hub components stand out for their durable structure for long-lasting and safe use.

Wheel Hub Components

• Wheel Hub: It is the main component that allows the wheel to rotate securely on the hub.
• Wheel Bearing: It is the component located between the wheel and the hub, reducing friction and allowing the wheel to rotate smoothly.
• Hub Flange: It is the flange that connects the hub to the wheel.
• Seals: They protect the wheel bearing and other components from external factors, increasing durability.
• Bolts and Nuts: These are the fasteners that securely connect the hub to the chassis.
• Repair Kit: Used to repair worn or damaged parts in the hub system.
• Clamp: It is a component used to strengthen connection points in the hub system.
• Washer: In hub assembly, it supports the fasteners to remain fixed in place.
• Gasket: It is located between fasteners, distributing the load and preventing loosening.
• Lock Washer: Ensures that the hub fasteners remain in place, supporting a secure installation.

Advantages and Importance of the Wheel Hub

• Secure Wheel Connection: The hub ensures that the wheels are securely connected to the chassis.
• Balanced Handling: The hub supports the wheels in adapting to the road surface, increasing the vehicle's handling.
• Friction Reduction: The wheel bearing reduces friction between the wheel and hub, providing a smoother ride.
• Long-lasting Use: Durable hub components ensure that the wheels work smoothly for a longer time.

Wheel Hub Failures and Symptoms

• Vibration and Noise: Excessive vibration or noise in the wheels may indicate wear in the wheel bearing or hub.
• Unstable Wheel Rotation: If there is difficulty in steering or handling of the vehicle, there may be a problem in the hub.
• Loose Wheel: If it is felt that the wheels are not properly fixed, there may be a problem in the hub connections.
• Vibration During Braking: If vibration is felt in the vehicle while braking, there may be a problem in the hub or bearing.

Wheel Hub Maintenance and Replacement Tips

• Wheel Bearing Check: It should be checked whether the wheel bearing shows signs of wear.
• Condition of Seals: It should be ensured that the hub seals are intact; if the seals are worn, they need to be replaced.
• Bolt and Nut Check: It is recommended that bolts and nuts be checked regularly to ensure that the hub remains securely connected.
• Repair Kit and Clamp Check: Regularly review the integrity of the repair kit and clamps in the hub system.
