Abstract
A wheel hub () having a radially extending wheel flange () which has fastening holes (), having a cylindrical projection which extends from the wheel flange () axially on the vehicle side and which serves for at least partially receiving a rolling bearing, and having a centering device which is mounted axially on the wheel side. A high rigidity of the wheel hub () and/or of the wheel bearing unit is realized with little material usage. One possibility arises by the centering device of a wheel hub being regarded as the product of the compromise between rigidity and possible material removal. In this regard, a particular arrangement of the webs that form the centering device is provided which leads to a particularly advantageous solution, specifically by virtue of the webs () being oriented in the same radial direction (A, B) as the fastening holes () of the wheel flange ().
