Wheel hub bearing unit is developed on the basis of standard angular contact ball bearings and tapered roller bearings, it will be two sets of bearings as one, with good assembly performance, can omit clearance adjustment, light weight, compact structure, large load capacity, for sealed bearings can be loaded with grease in advance, omit the external hub seals and maintenance-free, etc., has been widely used in sedans, and also in the heavy-duty vehicles to gradually expand the application of the trend.  In the past, wheel bearings for cars were most often used in pairs with single row tapered roller or ball bearings.
