Abstract
A wheel bearing arrangement having an outer ring (), an inner ring (), and a seal arranged between the outer ring () and the inner ring () for the purpose of sealing off a rolling chamber, wherein, in the rolling chamber, rolling bodies () roll in a load-bearing manner on raceways of the outer ring () and of the inner ring (), wherein the cover element () has a fastening region () for the fastening of the cover element () radially at the outside to the outer ring (). It is sought to further improve the encoder protection in a wheel bearing arrangement of said type by virtue of the cover element () having a collecting channel () which surrounds a joint bell housing () and thereby protecting the encoder () of the wheel bearing arrangement against fouling.
