A wheel hub or hub unit allowing improved mounting and removal of a brake member

摘要

There is disclosed a wheel hub or hub unit of the type having a radial hub flange (13) providing connection to the wheel (40) and to a brake member (10) comprised of an annular disc portion having a plurality of ears (11) radially protruding from its inner edge. The hub flange (13) defines a plurality of axial passages, in the form of peripheral radial recesses (19) or bores (17,17') for slipping a plurality of axial pins (30) to be fitted in holes (12) obtained in the brake member ears (11) and in openings (22) obtained in at least one radial wall (23) of a brake carrier (20) rotatably fast with the hub (14) to rotationally secure the brake member (10) to the hub (14). When the wheel (40) is mounted on the outside of the hub flange (13), axial movement of the pins (30) towards the outside is stopped by the wheel (40). <IMAGE>
