Abstract
An assembly supplies compressed air to a wheel of a vehicle. The assembly includes a wheel with a tire, a drive shaft for transmitting torque to the wheel, a wheel bearing on which the wheel in mounted in a rotationally fixed manner, and a toothing between the drive shaft and the wheel bearing. The wheel bearing is tensioned with the drive shaft by a bolt, wherein the bolt is arranged coaxially in relation to the drive shaft. An annular chamber of the wheel bearing is defined inside the wheel bearing and radially outside of the bolt. A compressed air through-opening is provided from the annular chamber of the wheel bearing in the direction of the wheel. A compressed air guide, leads from a compressed air source on the vehicle side into the annular chamber of the wheel bearing, from the annular chamber of the wheel bearing via the at least one compressed air through-opening to the wheel, and from the wheel into the tire.
