US 2025/0158486 A1 · DIRECT DRIVE WHEEL END GENERATOR

Abstract

A direct drive wheel end generator system configured to produce electricity based on a rotation of a wheel hub and a housing around a stationary spindle. The direct drive wheel end generator system may include an electric generator within the housing. The electric generator may include one or more rotors coupled to the housing and one or more stator windings coupled to the spindle. The housing may be coupled to the hub via one or more fasteners extending through one or more holes in the housing and one or more corresponding holes in the hub.
