System and method for the identification of a mechanical component, in particular a bearing or a hub bearing unit of a vehicle or a ring thereof, consisting of a marking applied directly onto an exposed surface of the mechanical component, performed using a photopolymerizable ceramic ink which is printed on the exposed surface by an inkjet printer having a resolution equal to, or greater than, 700 dpi and which is at least partly vitrified using a heat treatment at a temperature equal to or higher than 700° C., preferably after fixing of the ceramic ink on the exposed surface by UV irradiation.

In a vehicle suspension assembly (), a connection system () between a hub bearing unit () and a suspension upright or knuckle (), including: a radially outer lateral cylindrical surface () of a radially outer ring or element () of the hub bearing unit, configured for interference coupling with a radially inner lateral cylindrical surface () of a reception seat () of the suspension upright or knuckle; a pair of, or three, lugs () that protrude radially in cantilever fashion from the radially outer ring or element of the hub bearing unit, each being provided with an axial through hole (); a frontal surface () of the suspension upright or knuckle, configured for receiving the lugs () in axial abutment; and screws () fitted in a through manner through the axial holes of the lugs and screwed into respective threaded holes () formed in the suspension upright or knuckle, on the frontal surface ().

Suspension unit for a vehicle

Wheel hubs for a motor-vehicle wheel hub assemblies provided with a bearing unit in turn which include at least one row of rolling bodies, the wheel hub being provided with at least two sheet-metal elements which are rigidly joined together, wherein a first sheet-metal element forms a raceway for the at least one row of rolling bodies.

A steel disc blank provides a first face with a concave race, a second face opposite to the first face, a central through bore extending between the first and second face, and an outer peripheral edge; the disc blank is heat-treated; then the bore is turned, thus obtaining at least one cylindrical turned portion of the bore, and then the concave race is turned, holding the disc blank locked on the lathe by means of jaws engaging on the machined cylindrical portion, using this turned cylindrical portion as a reference surface for turning of the concave race.
