Abstract
A wheel hub includes a one-piece hub base body configured to surround at least a portion of a rolling-element bearing, the base body having a first axial end region configured to attach to a wheel adapter and/or to a wheel and a second axial end region axially opposite the first axial end region. An annular reinforcing body, which may be a metal band, is mounted on a radially outer surface of the second axial end region and connected to the radially outer surface at a joint.

A wheel hub comprising:
- a one-piece hub base body configured to surround at least a portion of a rolling-element bearing, the base body having a first axial end region configured to attach to a wheel adapter and/or to a wheel and a second axial end region axially opposite the first axial end region, and
- an annular reinforcing band mounted on a radially outer surface of the second axial end region and connected to the radially outer surface at a joint,
- wherein the base body without the reinforcing band is configured to plastically deform upon the application of an amount of force, and
- wherein the reinforcing band is configured to prevent a plastic deformation of the base body upon the application of the amount of force.
