Abstract
A wheel spacer disk for motor vehicles including a center opening, a plurality of wheel bolt openings and at least two wheel hub centering elements for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a wheel hub. A diameter of the center opening is greater than a diameter of a centering element of the wheel hub, and at least two wheel centering pins are provided for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a wheel. The at least two wheel hub centering elements are arranged on a circumferential wall of the center opening, and the at least two wheel hub centering elements project at least partially into the center opening of the wheel spacer disk.
Claims20
A wheel spacer disk for motor vehicles, comprising:
- a circumferential wall defining a center opening, the center opening having a diameter, the diameter being greater than a diameter of a centering element of a wheel hub;
- a plurality of wheel bolt openings;
- at least two wheel hub centering elements arranged on the circumferential wall for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to the wheel hub, the at least two wheel hub centering elements projecting at least partially into the center opening;
- and
- at least two wheel centering pins for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to a wheel.
An arrangement for motor vehicles comprising:
- a wheel hub, the wheel hub including a bearing surface and a centering element, the centering element having a diameter and extending out from the wheel hub substantially parallel to a central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub, the centering element having a centering ring and at least two centering projections, the centering ring starting at a same height as the bearing surface of the wheel hub for a wheel spacer disk, the centering ring extending away from the bearing surface substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis and being centered relative to the central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub, the at least two centering projections extending out from the centering ring substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis of the wheel hub, the centering element on the at least two centering projections having a greater diameter than on the centering ring, the wheel hub further including a plurality of wheel bolt openings or stud bolts;
- a wheel, the wheel having a plurality of wheel bolt openings;
- and
- the wheel spacer disk comprising:
- a circumferential wall, the circumferential wall defining a center opening of the wheel spacer disk, the center opening having a diameter, the diameter being greater than the diameter of the centering element of the wheel hub;
- a plurality of wheel bolt openings, the plurality of wheel bolt openings of the wheel spacer disk being oriented so as to be aligned with the plurality of wheel bolt openings of the wheel and the plurality of wheel bolt openings or stud bolts of the wheel hub;
- at least two wheel hub centering elements arranged on the circumferential wall for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to the wheel hub, the at least two wheel hub centering elements projecting at least partially into the center opening of the wheel spacer disk;
- and
- at least two wheel centering pins for centering the wheel spacer disk relative to the wheel, each of the at least two wheel centering pins being arranged between two of the at least two centering projections of the wheel hub and the wheel spacer disk bears against the centering ring through the at least two wheel hub centering elements.
