Connection of a flanged ring of a hub bearing unit to a motor vehicle wheel or suspension standard of a motor vehicle

摘要

A connecting element serves to connect a flanged ring of a hub-bearing unit to a wheel or a suspension standard of a motor vehicle. The connecting element has an overall crown-like shape and forms, in a single piece, an annular portion and a plurality of parallel, equally angularly spaced pin portions which extend protruding axially from a same side of the annular portion and each have a threaded section.

主权项

1. A hub bearing assembly for a motor vehicle wheel, the assembly comprising:
a tubular core having a longitudinal axis, a flange extending in a radially outer direction from the core, wherein the flange includes first and second opposing radial faces, and wherein the flange provides a plurality of axial through bores extending from the first radial face to the second radial face at angularly equally spaced positions around the longitudinal axis, and a connecting element comprising:
an annular shaped ring having a generally planar body with an exterior circumference and an interior circumference, anda plurality of parallel, equally angularly spaced pin portions that extend axially from a same side of the annular shaped ring, each pin portion defining an axial bore at least partially therethrough, wherein an inner surface defining the axial bore comprises a threaded section, and wherein the pin portions do not project axially beyond the second radial face of the flange when the annular shaped ring abuts the first radial face of the flange.
