What is the normal temperature for hub heating?
1 Answers
During normal braking, the friction between the brake pads and brake discs generates high temperatures, which are transferred to the hub. If the vehicle is equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system, the tire temperature can be observed. Generally, both the tires and hubs can fully withstand these temperatures without affecting safe driving. Below are the reasons for hub heating: 1. Frequent braking: Frequent braking during driving causes the brake discs to heat up. In severe cases, this can damage the brake pads and lead to brake failure. 2. Hub bearing wear: If the hub bearings are assembled too tightly or experience abnormal wear, the vehicle's hub may heat up, and in severe cases, the bearings may burn out. 3. Lack of lubrication in bearings: Excessive temperatures can cause the grease inside the bearings to melt and leak, affecting braking performance and causing the hub to heat up. 4. Abnormal return of the brake slave cylinder: If the brake slave cylinder does not return properly, it can cause the brake pads to lock, keeping them in constant friction with the brake disc, creating braking resistance. When this happens, the temperature of the brake drum and hub will also rise.
