Axialverbindung zwischen einem Gleichlaufgelenk und einer Nabenlagereinheit eines Kraftfahrzeugrades

摘要

A constant velocity joint has an outer bell (20) telescopically coupled for rotation with a rotatable hub (10) of a hub bearing unit so as to provide torque transmission thereto. The joint bell (20) is releasably axially coupled to a rotatable member of the hub bearing unit by an annular connector (30). The connector (30) comprises
- a radially inwardly extending annular flange (31) axially clamped against a rigid annular part (14) fixed to or integral with the hub (10),
- a radially outer portion extending axially around a cylindrical surface (25) of the joint bell (20). This outer portion has a resiliently radially expansible section (35) with one or more radially inwardly extending protrusions (37) providing a snap connection with a relief or recess (24) formed on the cylindrical outer surface (25) of the joint.
