摘要

The connecting element comprises a wheel carrier (1) such as a pivot wheel including a first sheet shell (11) having a bore (13) in which a hub is mounted via a wheel bearing (2). The wheel bearing comprises beads or cylinders positioned between an inner ring and an outer ring. The bore comprises a flap (14) forming a flange, which is connected with the wheel bearing. The wheel carrier comprises a second sheet shell forming a hollow body, where the second sheet shell includes a bore of which an inner peripheral surface is in contact with a lateral wall of the outer ring. The connecting element comprises a wheel carrier (1) such as a pivot wheel including a first sheet shell (11) having a bore (13) in which a hub is mounted via a wheel bearing (2). The wheel bearing comprises beads or cylinders positioned between an inner ring and an outer ring. The bore comprises a flap (14) forming a flange, which is connected with the wheel bearing. The wheel carrier comprises a second sheet shell forming a hollow body, where the second sheet shell includes a bore of which an inner peripheral surface is in contact with a lateral wall of the outer ring. The outer ring comprising a lateral part designed to be connected with the second sheet shell by welding forms a washer. The wheel bearing is connected with the first and second sheet shells by laser welding. The first and second sheet shells comprise openings positioned in a periphery of the bore, where the openings are designed to allow the passage of a welding nozzle. An independent claim is included for a wheel bearing.
