Ball Bearing Selection for Wheel Hubs

AI Thread Summary
For designing a new wheel hub, it's essential to conduct a load analysis that considers various forces such as normal, friction, and lateral forces during turns. Understanding these forces will help in selecting the appropriate ball bearings. Seeking additional resources and guidance is recommended to deepen knowledge on the subject. Sharing a design drawing can facilitate more specific advice and suggestions. Proper analysis and design considerations are crucial for optimal performance and safety.

Hello there guys

I'm trying to find out which ball bearings I have to use for a new wheel hub I am designing. What I'm currently doing is a load analysis for the axis but I am confused on how would the forces that affect the wheel (normal, friction, lateral force when the car takes a turn, etc) come into play into this analysis. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to PF.

Your question is quite general so you should first google the subject. Read things like this;

Please post a drawing of your present design. We can then get some idea of the stage of your design and suggest things you may need to consider.

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Dry sump pump issue'

I have an engine that uses a dry sump oiling system. The oil collection pan has three AN fittings to use for scavenging. Two of the fittings are approximately on the same level, the third is about 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the other two. The system ran for years with no problem using a three stage pump (one pressure and two scavenge stages). The two scavenge stages were connected at times to any two of the three AN fittings on the tank. Recently I tried an upgrade to a four stage pump...
