What is the normal temperature range for wheel hubs?
1 Answers
During normal vehicle operation, the temperature of wheel hubs typically ranges between 45 to 80 degrees Celsius. The inner ring of the wheel hub near the axle tends to be warmer, with temperatures between 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, while the outer ring, being farther from the axle heat source and benefiting from air cooling through ventilation holes, usually maintains temperatures between 30 to 50 degrees Celsius. Factors such as brake malfunctions, prolonged braking on slopes, or overloading can significantly increase wheel hub temperatures. Continuous temperatures exceeding 120 degrees Celsius indicate that the vehicle should no longer be driven. Below are some wheel hub maintenance tips: 1. Remove sand and dirt adhering to the wheel hub surface: Cleaning off sand and harmful contaminants from the wheel hub surface is essential to prevent corrosion and damage to the alloy. 2. Apply anti-acid cleaner to both inner and outer surfaces of the wheel hub: Treating the wheel hub with anti-acid cleaner and applying wax every two months can help extend its lifespan.
