Reifenaufnahme

Reifenaufnahme, a German term, translates to "tire mounting" or "wheel hub" in English. It broadly refers to the system that connects a vehicle's wheel to its axle or suspension. This connection is critical for transmitting driving forces, braking forces, and supporting the vehicle's weight. The Reifenaufnahme encompasses various components that work together to ensure a secure and stable wheel attachment.

Key elements within the Reifenaufnahme typically include the wheel hub itself, which is the rotating part attached to the axle. The wheel studs or bolts, which are used to secure the wheel rim to the hub, are also integral. In some designs, a brake disc or drum is mounted directly to the hub, facilitating the braking system. Bearings are housed within or around the hub to allow for smooth rotation of the wheel with minimal friction. The overall design of the Reifenaufnahme can vary significantly depending on the vehicle type, including passenger cars, trucks, and motorcycles, and whether it is for a driven axle or a trailing axle. A well-designed Reifenaufnahme is essential for vehicle safety and performance.
