ABSTRACT:
A hub system which has a stationary hub carrier and a planetary gear with a web that functions as a rotating hub for supporting a wheel rim. Planet wheels are mounted on the web and a ring gear is connected to the stationary hub carrier and to a vehicle component. Two spaced bearings are positioned in an X-arrangement inside of the stationary hub carrier to rotationally mount the rotating hub on the stationary hub carrier. The bearings are biased with respect to each other by the connection between the stationary hub carrier and the vehicle component. A sun gear on a drive shaft is located in the planetary gear to engage the planet wheels and drive them around the ring gear.
