Abstract
A wheel bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle with a wheel hub and a wheel bearing for the rotatable bearing of the wheel hub at a wheel mount. The wheel bearing has an outer ring and an inner ring, which is rotatable with respect to the outer ring around an axis of rotation and is connected to the wheel hub. A wheel flange extends from the wheel hub and, as viewed in the axial direction, has a brake disk mount, which is open in the direction facing away from the outer ring and which, as viewed in longitudinal section with respect to the axis of rotation, is formed by a recess of the wheel flange, and has a support surface for a brake disk.

A wheel bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a wheel hub and a wheel bearing for the rotatable bearing of the wheel hub at a wheel mount, wherein the wheel bearing has an outer ring and an inner ring, which is rotatable with respect to the outer ring around an axis of rotation and is connected to the wheel hub, wherein a wheel flange extends from the wheel hub and, as viewed in the axial direction, has a brake disk mount, which is open in the direction facing away from the outer ring and, as viewed in the longitudinal section with respect to the axis of rotation, is formed by a recess of the wheel flange, and has a support surface for a brake disk, wherein in the wheel flange on its side facing the outer ring in the axial direction, a seal mount space is formed, which, in the axial direction, has a seal mount width (BD) which is greater than or equal to 2.0 mm, wherein the recess, as viewed in longitudinal section, has a cranking width (BK) which is greater than or equal to 5.0 mm, wherein by way of the recess, an outer circumferential surface of the wheel flange forms a brake disk seat, which, with respect to the axis of rotation, has a brake disk seat diameter (DBI), wherein the outer ring has an outer ring width (BRL), and wherein the ratio of the brake disk seat diameter (DBI) to the outer ring width (BRL) is greater than or equal to 1.9.
