Abstract
A hub bearing assembly for a motor vehicle wheel comprises a flanged ring and a set of pin connection elements. The flanged ring defines a central axis of rotation and comprises a tubular core made of steel and an outer flange of light metallic material having axial bores formed therethrough. Each pin connection element includes a head portion and an axial cylindrical shank defining a respective longitudinal axis parallel to the axis of rotation and is accommodated in one of the bores, and a threaded cylindrical surface for connecting the flanged ring to a wheel or to a suspension standard of the vehicle. Each head portion is shaped differently from that of a solid of revolution generated about the longitudinal axis of the shank portion. Each head portion is accommodated in a respective recess of corresponding shape, formed in one of the two radial opposite faces of the flange.
