Bearing arrangement for a driven wheel of a vehicle

摘要

A bearing arrangement for a driven wheel of a vehicle, comprised of a rolling bearing whose outer ring is provided with a flange for affixing the assembly to a vehicle frame or the like. A wheel hub is provided with a flange for supporting a wheel. A drive joint is provided for driving the hub wheel, and a pin or the like is provided for holding the parts together. The axially engaging end surfaces of the wheel hub and drive joint are provided with engaging teeth for the transmission of torques. In order to interconnect the parts precisely to one another for centering and to ensure their reliable interconnection, the inner ring of the rolling bearing is mounted on the outer surface of the wheel hub and/or the drive joint, and end surfaces of the inner ring abut first shoulder surfaces of the wheel hub and the drive joint. The wheel hub and the drive joint directly abut one another at the end surfaces with are provided with substantially axially extending and intermeshing projections. The pin extends through the wheel hub and drive joint and engages second shoulder surfaces of both parts with radial projections.
