Abstract Hub Units are used worldwide as automobile wheel bearings. Through careful consideration of the function and performance of components such as grease and seals, we have completed the development of a low torque Hub Unit called "HUBLFT". This paper will introduce the factors that have been redesigned to give this product top performance.
Keyword Axle bearing, low torque, grease, seal, hub unit
