BEARING DEVICE FOR WHEEL BOSS DRIVEN THROUGH SYNCHRONOUS RO-TARY JOINT

摘要

A bearing assembly for a wheel hub driven from a universal joint including an outer race attached to the wheel carrier of a motor vehicle having first and second outer bearing tracks thereon and an inner race having first and second inner bearing tracks thereon, the first bearing tracks being formed by a tubular projection of the universal joint and the second bearing tracks being formed by a tubular projection of the wheel hub. First and second bearing elements are interposed respectively betwen the first inner and outer tracks and the second inner and outer tracks and a sleeve extending within inner juxtaposed surfaces formed by the first and second tubular projections operates to place the universal joint in torque-transmitting engagement with the wheel hub and to restrain the tubular projections against relative axial displacement.
