A speed measuring device for a wheel hub assembly equipped with a rolling bearing. The measuring device having an encoder wheel mounted on a rotating ring of the bearing, a mechanical support disposed between the encoder wheel and the ring to cause the encoder wheel and the ring to be angularly fixed to one another, and a mechanical lock for axially locking the encoder wheel in a seat formed by the mechanical lock together with the mechanical support. The encoder wheel is equipped with a base structure made of plastic material mounted in a seat.

Encoder wheel for wheel hub assembly

Coupling system of a sealing assembly that has an annular rotating element, the seal assembly provides an annular screen providing a sleeve portion to be integrally coupled with the annular element rotating and a flange portion that protrudes radially from the sleeve portion. The sleeve portion by coupling with a seat mounting of the annular rotating element defined by an outer cylindrical surface of the mounting and including a first circumferential discontinuity cooperating with the sleeve portion to locally increase a reaction force of the cylindrical surface at the first circumferential discontinuity due to elastic radial pressure exerted by the sleeve portion on the mounting seat.

A procedure for mounting a hub bearing assembly including a rotatable hub, and a bearing unit having a stationary radially outer ring, and two rolling bodies disposed between the radially outer ring and the hub, and executing the steps of hammering a first seal on the hub, mounting a cage on the seal seat, providing the outer ring assembly in axially offset manner relative to the hub, mounting the rolling bodies axially externally from the axially inner side, combining the hub to the outer ring, positioning the outer ring inclination at a predetermined angle, mounting the rolling bodies from the axially inner side, aligning the hub to the radially outer ring, snap insertion of the cage, on rolling bodies from the axially outer side and the cage, on rolling bodies from the axially inner side, hammering a second seal on its seat, from the axially inner side.
