ROLLING-RIVETED WHEEL BEARING ARRANGEMENT WITH A STEPPED INNER RING

摘要

The invention relates to a wheel bearing arrangement (21a) of a vehicle axle, comprising a wheel bearing (22), which contains at least two rolling element rows, for bearing a wheel hub (30) which can be driven by a drive element. The rolling elements (23) of the wheel bearing (22) are guided in tracks (24, 26) of a stationary outer ring (25), the rotating wheel hub (30), and a separate inner ring (27a) which is paired with the wheel hub (30). In the assembled state, the wheel hub (30) of the wheel bearing arrangement (21a) and the drive element are operatively connected via a toothing. A radially stepped inner contour (28) of the inner ring (27a), said inner contour having two diameters (D1, D2) which differ from one another, is adapted to a complementarily designed receiving area (29) of the wheel hub (30). The position of the inner ring (27a) is fixed on the end face by means of a rolling rivet connection (31) of the wheel hub (30).
