Abstract
A static sealing device for a wheel hub comprising an inner ring associated with an outer ring of a constant velocity joint coupled with the wheel hub. A first sealing assembly is integrated between the inner ring and an outer ring of the wheel hub to protect respective rolling bodies. A second sealing assembly is integrated between the wheel hub and the outer ring of the joint. The first sealing assembly includes a shield fitted to the inner ring with a sleeve portion thereof and a flange portion extending towards the joint carrying an annular signal generating element and a tubular support element which projects axially from the flange portion. The second sealing assembly includes a tubular core having opposite ends embedded in an elastomeric material forming a sealing lip towards the joint and an elastically deformable annular tooth for engaging with a complimentary feature of the tubular support element.
