EUWA ES-3.16 Dimensional characteristics of wheel and hub attachments – truck wheels
This EUWA Standard update replaces the former version “DIMENSIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ATTACHMENT – TRUCK WHEELS” from 2012.
The updated version is now called “Dimensional characteristics of wheel and hub attachments – truck wheels” as this will more cover the lastest known technical developments.
It specifies the dimensional characteristics necessary for the attachment of the wheel on the hub. The flat attachment type with centring on central bore ( hub centring ) is the recommended type for future equipment. Stud centered & mixed centered wheels should be avoided wherever possible. The specifications indicated hereafter do not imply that the wheel is inter- changeable from one vehicle to another. The fatigue life performance of the wheel can depend on the vehicle’s hub shape. The hub should provide an uninterrupted circular support area for the wheel attachment face to have no negative influence on the fatigue life behaviour* For non-circular or non-flat hubs, a negative effect to the wheel’s endurance behaviour must be expected.
