Abstract
A wheel assembly includes a wheel hub mounted to a wheel mount. The hub and mount include intermeshing profiles in the form of teeth for transmitting torque from the mount to the hub about a longitudinal axis. The teeth on each of the hub and mount project in an axial direction and are circumferentially spaced apart. The teeth are wedge-shaped, as viewed in longitudinal section, to radially center the hub about the longitudinal axis.
