A wheel hub having an axis of symmetry and including a flange transverse to the axis of symmetry and provided with a plurality of fixing holes for attaching a wheel, a tubular body extending axially from the flange for supporting a rolling bearing, and a centering device arranged on a side of the flange opposite to that of the tubular body and in a position concentric with the axis of symmetry of the wheel hub, for retaining a wheel rim or a brake disc. The centering device being provided with a given number of flattened areas extending circumferentially and axially on a respective continuous tubular body projecting axially from the flange.

Wheel hub with centring means

A hub bearing assembly includes a hub of light metallic material forming a cylindrical portion, on which an inner tubular ring having a raceway is mounted; on the first inner tubular ring a second inner ring having a second raceway is fastened; formed between the cylindrical portion of the hub and the inner tubular ring is a cylindrical interstice containing a brazing bonding material or a structural adhesive which integrally binds the hub to the first inner tubular ring.

Lightweight hub bearing assembly and processes for assembling it

A hub bearing assembly includes a hub made of lightweight metallic material and forming a cylindrical portion, on which a tubular inner ring providing a raceway is mounted; a second inner ring is fixed on the first tubular inner ring and provides a second raceway; a cylindrical interstice is formed between the cylindrical portion of the hub and the tubular inner ring and contains a bonding brazing material which integrally joins the hub to the first tubular inner ring.
