Abstract
A clamping system for a hub bearing assembly includes a screw element configured to engage with a threaded section formed on a flanged hub of a bearing unit. The screw element includes a flange-shaped head configured to cooperate with an annular element of the bearing unit and axially constrain the flanged hub and the annular element, an elastic ring, and at least one annular seat for the elastic ring. The at least one annular seat is formed radially on the inside of the annular element or on the outside of the flange-shaped head along a radially outer peripheral edge of the flange-shaped head.
Claims9
A hub bearing assembly including a constant velocity joint, comprising:
- a hub bearing unit comprising:
- a radially outer annular housing;
- a radially inner, annular, flanged hub;
- and
- a plurality of rolling bodies arranged between the annular housing and the flanged hub;
- and
- an annular element of the constant velocity joint configured to engage with the flanged hub by an axial splined coupling arranged between the annular element and the flanged hub;
- and
- a clamping system comprising:
- a screw element configured to engage with a threaded section formed on the flanged hub,
- wherein the screw element comprises a flange-shaped head configured to cooperate with the annular element and axially constrain the flanged hub and the annular element;
- and
- an elastic ring;
- and
- at least one annular seat for the elastic ring
- wherein the at least one annular seat is formed radially on at least one of an inside of the annular element and an outside of the flange-shaped head along a radially outer peripheral edge of the flange-shaped head.
