Abstract: Wheel fitting is an assembly section which has mainly two parts; they are wheel rim and Hub. In generally, these are fastened by using bolts and nuts, but now in this project new lock mechanism is introducing in wheel fitting assembly. This shows a clear cut comparison of the existing one with this new modification of lock mechanism which is used in behalf of nut and bolt fasteners in the existing wheel fitting design. It has completed in two stages of Modeling and Analysis like Designing of existing wheel Rim & Hub assembly, designing of modified wheel Rim & Hub with lock mechanism assembly are done by using PRO-E and Analysis of the entire modeling has been done by using ANSYS by monitoring some parameters like Equivalent stress, von misses strain, deformations and finally Compared with the existing wheel fitting design. The major advantage of using lock mechanism is, it can avoid thread failures and reduces fitting time.
