The subject invention provides a wheel assembly () having a spindle () for attachment to a vehicle along a rotational axis (R). An electric motor () is disposed radially about the spindle () and includes a stationary stator () and a rotor () rotatable about the rotational axis (R) relative to the stator (). A rotor support () is disposed about the spindle () and includes a collar () rotatably supported by at least one rotor support bearing () on the spindle (). The rotor support () includes a flange () disposed within a predetermined axial distance (D) and extending radially outward from the collar () to support the rotor (). A planetary gear system () interconnects the rotor support () and a wheel drive () for reducing rotational speed of the rotor () and increasing the torque of the wheel assembly ().

An electric axle assembly includes a suspension frame, a pair of drive assemblies coupled to opposite sides of the suspension frame, and a drive module coupled to the suspension frame. The drive module controls operation of the drive assemblies. The electric axle assembly is mounted to a vehicle frame and provides motive force to wheels of the vehicle for propelling the vehicle along a roadway.

An axle assembly for a vehicle. A movable housing is movably positioned within a closed channel defined by a central housing. The movable housing moves the axle assembly between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. A mounting assembly may be coupled to and spaced from the movable housing and slidably positioned adjacent the central housing. A steering actuator is coupled to a steering arm and the mounting assembly such that the steering actuator moves as a unit. A track assist bracket may be fixedly coupled to the central housing and define a gap sized to slidably receive a mounting plate of the mounting assembly. A bushing may be disposed on each wall of a telescoping portion of the movable housing. A bellows may be provided to enclose exposed portions of the bushings in the extended configuration. Methods of adjusting the track of the axle assembly are also disclosed.
