Abstract

In this paper, deformation of dust cap in the automotive wheel bearing produced during press-fit process was numerically analyzed. The commercial software, MSC.MARC which is based on the finite element method was used to calculate the deformation. From those results, interference between dust cap and sensor was investigated. To verify the analysis results, experiments were performed and compared experiment results with analysis results. To avoid the interference between dust cap and sensor, 4 modified designs were proposed and the best design was derived from them.
