What Is the Function of a Hub & Bearing?

Axle Guide

The axle is installed through a hub during a vehicle’s construction to keep the axle perpendicular to the wheel, which is installed onto the hub assembly. The hub aligns the axle and wheel so that the wheels turn with the axle. The bearing connects an axle to the hub shell. This provides a tighter alignment between the axle and hub while allowing the wheel to rotate freely. Bearings are often lubricated to reduce wear on the hub during use. For larger vehicles, including all types of automobiles, the hub and bearing often come in the same assembly.

Operation

Torque is applied to a drive shaft on a vehicle from a powered gear system. Systems generating this sort of power include gasoline-powered engines or foot-powered bicycle chain drives. The drive shaft uses this torque to spin the bearing, which in turn spins the wheel. Hubs will also rotate as part of a hub bearing assembly; on simpler vehicles, the bearing spins within the hub.

Steering

A steering system connects to the axles on a vehicle causing the axle to rotate with the steering mechanism controlled by the driver. The bearing keeps the axle tight to the hub so that the wheels remain perfectly aligned with the axle during a turn.

Lubrication

During use, bearings reduce the amount of wear from friction on the hub. The type of bearing depends on the amount of torque that will be transmitted from the drive shaft to the wheel. Most hub and bearing systems are greased to increase lubrication.

Shock Absorber

A mechanical device designed to smooth out or damp shock impulse, and dissipate kinetic energy. It is a type of dashpot.

Nomenclature

The device’s name in common parlance (among the general public and auto mechanics) is shock absorber or simply shock. Technical names include damper and dashpot. During the early 20th century in the U.S., the then-well-known Houdaille brand (pronounced WHO-dye) was in some places a genericized trademark for the device, but has since disappeared from use.

Description

Pneumatic and hydraulic sho Shock absorbers include cushions and springs.

Explanation

The shock absorber’s function is to absorb or dissipate energy. One design consideration, when designing or choosing a shock absorber, is where that energy will go. In most dashpots, energy is converted to heat inside the viscous fluid. In hydraulic cylinders, the hydraulic fluid heats up, while in air cylinders, the hot air is usually exhausted to the atmosphere. In other types of dashpots, such as electromagnetic types, the dissipated energy can be stored and used later. In general terms, shock absorbers help cushion vehicles on uneven roads.

Applications

Shock absorbers are an important part of automobile and motorcycle suspensions, aircraft landing gear, and the supports for many industrial machines. Large shock absorbers have also been used in structural engineering to reduce the susceptibility of structures to earthquake damage and resonance. A transverse mounted shock absorber, called a yaw damper, helps keep railcars from swaying excessively from side to side and are important in passenger railroads, commuter rail and rapid transit systems because they prevent railcars from damaging station platforms. The success of passive damping technologies in suppressing vibration is demonstrated by its market size – around US $4.5 billion.

Vehicle suspension

In a vehicle, shock absorbers reduce the effect of traveling over rough ground, leading to improved ride quality and increase in comfort. While shock absorbers serve the purpose of limiting excessive suspension movement, their intended sole purpose is to dampen spring oscillations. Shock absorbers use valving of oil and gasses to absorb excess energy from the springs. Spring rates are chosen by the manufacturer based on the weight of the vehicle, loaded and unloaded. Some people use shocks to modify spring rates but this is not the correct use. Along with hysteresis in the tire itself, they dampen the energy stored in the motion of the unsprung weight up and down. Effective wheel bounce damping may require tuning shocks to an optimal resistance. Spring-based shock absorbers commonly use coil springs or leaf springs, though torsion bars are used in torsional shocks as well. Ideal springs alone, however, are not shock absorbers, as springs only store and do not dissipate or absorb energy. Vehicles typically employ both hydraulic shock absorbers and springs or torsion bars. In this combination, “shock absorber” refers specifically to the hydraulic piston that absorbs and dissipates vibration.

Specialized high temperature epoxy resists shock and vibration, while increasing thermal conductivity. These are direct plug replacements for OEM coils. They feature bodies and/or secondary towers and feature brass secondary contacts (except direct fire coil on plug applications).

Features:

  • TS 16949 Certified
  • 10-15% more energy than the OEM coils
  • These are direct plug replacements for OEM coils

Description

An ignition coil is an induction coil in an automobile’s ignition system, which transforms the battery’s low voltage to the thousands of volts needed to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Some coils have an internal resistor while others rely on a resistor wire or an external resistor to limit the current flowing into the coil from the car’s 12-volt supply. The wire that goes from the ignition coil to the distributor and the high voltage wires that go from the distributor to each of the spark plugs are the spark plug wires/leads.

The Principals of Ignition Coils

An ignition coil consists of a laminated iron core surrounded by two coils of copper wire. Unlike a power transformer, an ignition coil has an open magnetic circuit – the iron core does not form a closed loop around the windings. The energy that is stored in the magnetic field of the core is the energy that is transferred to the spark plug. The primary winding has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary winding consists of thousands of turns of smaller wire, insulated for the high voltage by enamel on the wires and layers of oiled paper insulation. The coil is usually inserted into a metal can or plastic case with insulated terminals for the high voltage and low voltage connections. When the contact breaker closes, it allows a current from the battery to build up in the primary winding of the ignition coil.

The current does not flow instantly because of the inductance of the coil. Current flowing in the coil produces a magnetic field in the core and in the air surrounding the core. The current must flow long enough to store enough energy in the field for the spark. Once the current has built up to its full level, the contact breaker opens. Since it has a capacitor connected across it, the primary winding and the capacitor form a tuned circuit, and as the stored energy oscillates between the inductor formed by the coil and the capacitor, the changing magnetic field in the core of the coil induces a much larger voltage in the secondary of the coil. The amount of energy in the spark required to ignite the air-fuel mixture varies depending on the pressure and composition of the mixture, and on the speed of the engine.

Originally, every ignition coil system required mechanical contact breaker points, and a capacitor. More recent electronic ignition systems, such as the products manufactured and supplied by Hytec Automotive, use a power transistor to provide pulses to the ignition coil. A modern passenger automobile may use one ignition coil for each engine cylinder (or pair of cylinders); eliminating fault-prone spark plug cables and a distributor to route the high voltage pulses. Ignition systems are not required for diesel engines, which rely on compression to ignite the fuel/air mixture.

Explanation

In modern systems, the distributor is omitted and ignition is instead electronically controlled. Much smaller coils are used with one coil for each spark plug or one coil serving two spark plugs (for example two coils in a four-cylinder engine, or three coils in a six-cylinder engine). A large ignition coil puts out about 20 kV, and a small one such as from a lawn mower puts out about 15 kV. These coils may be remotely mounted or they may be placed on top of the spark plug. Where one coil serves two spark plugs (in two cylinders), it is through the “wasted spark” system. In this arrangement, the coil generates two sparks per cycle to both cylinders. The fuel in the cylinder that is nearing the end of its compression stroke is ignited, whereas the spark in its companion that is nearing the end of its exhaust stroke has no effect. The wasted spark system is more reliable than a single coil system with a distributor and less expensive than coil-on-plug.

Description

A fuel pump is a frequently essential component on a car or other internal combustion engine device. Many engines do not require any fuel pump at all, requiring only gravity to feed fuel from the fuel tank through a line or hose to the engine. But in non-gravity feed designs, fuel has to be pumped from the fuel tank to the engine and delivered under low pressure to the carburetor or under high pressure to the fuel injection system. Often, carbureted engines use low-pressure mechanical pumps that are, mounted outside the fuel tank, whereas fuel injected engines often use electric fuel pumps that are, mounted inside the fuel tank.

What is Behind the Design of an Electric Fuel Pump?

In many modern cars, the fuel pump is usually electric and located inside the fuel tank. The pump creates positive pressure in the fuel lines, pushing the gasoline to the engine. The higher gasoline pressure raises the boiling point. Placing the pump in the tank puts the component least likely to handle gasoline vapor well (the pump itself) farthest from the engine, submersed in cool liquid. Another benefit to placing the pump inside the tank is that it is less likely to start a fire. Though electrical components (such as a fuel pump) can spark and ignite fuel vapors, liquid fuel will not explode and therefore submerging the pump in the tank is one of the safest places to put it. In most cars, the fuel pump delivers a constant flow of gasoline to the engine; fuel not used is, returned to the tank. This further reduces the chance of the fuel boiling, since it is never kept close to the hot engine for too long.

The ignition switch does not carry the power to the fuel pump; instead, it activates a relay, which will handle the higher current load. It is common for the fuel pump relay to become oxidized and cease functioning; this is much more common than the actual fuel pump failing. Modern engines utilize solid-state control, which allows the fuel pressure to be controlled via pulse-width modulation of the pump voltage. This increases the life of the pump, allows a smaller and lighter device to be used, and reduces electrical load.

The fuel sending unit assembly may be a combination of the electric fuel pump, the filter, the strainer, and the electronic device used to measure the amount of fuel in the tank via a float attached to a sensor, which sends data to the dash-mounted fuel gauge. The fuel pump by itself is a relatively inexpensive part. However, a mechanic at a garage might have a preference to install the entire unit assembly.
