An asymmetrical hub bearing assembly for the wheel of a motor vehicle provides a flanged hub rotatable around an axis of rotation (x), a flange transversal to the axis (x), an outer ring with raceways axially spaced from one another, and two rows of balls, of which the axially outer row has a pitch circle with a diameter greater than that of the axially inner row. The flanged hub includes a tubular portion which protrudes in the axially outer direction beyond the flange and provides a thread for a single central threaded fastener adapted to releasably lock a wheel on the hub.

Integrated hub-bearing assembly for the wheel of a motor vehicle

Sealing device () for rolling contact bearings provided with a shield () which may be installed onto an outer race () of the bearing (), and presenting a lateral cylindrical wall () which is suitable for being arranged in a radially intermediate position between an encoder () and a reading sensor () of the bearing (), and a passing window () which is obtained through the lateral cylindrical wall () in order to permit the sensor () to face the encoder (); a cover () made of plastic material being arranged in such a way as to close the window (), and being selectively mobile in order to effect variations in pressure between the inside and outside of the bearing () between two extreme operating positions in at least one of which the cover () is suitable for substantially sealing the window ().

Sealing device for a rolling contact bearing

Sealing device () for a wheel hub unit () which is connected to a differential () of a vehicle, and which is provided with a contact rolling bearing (), the sealing device () being mounted in order to protect the bearing () from a lubricating fluid which is used to lubricate the differential (), and presenting a first shield () which is integral with an outer race () of the bearing (), a second shield () which is arranged inside the first shield () and which is integral with an inner race () of the bearing () and which counter-faces the first shield () itself, and a dynamic sealing element () which is interposed between the first and the second shield (); a first static sealing element () being associated with a terminal border () of the shrink-fit portion (), and being arranged inside an external relief () in order to create a static seal with a box () which extends from the differential () to the unit ().

Sealing device for a wheel hub unit

Sealing device () for a wheel hub group () connected to the differential () of a vehicle, and provided with a rolling bearing (), the sealing device () being mounted in such a way as to protect the bearing () from a lubricating fluid for the lubrication of the differential (), and presenting a first shield () which is integral with an outer race () of the bearing (), a second shield () which is arranged inside the first shield () and which is integral with an inner race () of the bearing () and which faces the first shield () itself, and a dynamic sealing element () which is interposed between the first and second shields (); the second shield () being defined by a support portion () made of metallic material and force fit onto the inner race () and a cylindrical encoder () which is integral with the support portion (), and the first shield () being made of metallic material lined with rubber material, and being provided with a loophole () which is suitable for being engaged by a reading sensor () for reading a signal generated by the encoder () itself.
