Abstract
The invention relates to a wheel hub arrangement (1) having at least one wheel hub (2) which is mounted rotatably via at least one wheel bearing (3) on a bearing journal (4) of an axle body (5) which is mounted on a vehicle chassis. Furthermore, the wheel hub arrangement (1) can have a brake system (6). The bearing journal (4) is assigned a display device for displaying critical temperature loading of the wheel bearing (3) and/or the brake system (6), wherein this display device has a display element which responds when critical temperature loading is exceeded.

A wheel hub arrangement, comprising:
- at least one wheel hub;
- at least one wheel bearing;
- an axle beam adapted to be supported on a motor vehicle chassis, wherein the at least one wheel hub is rotatably supported on an end of the axle by the at least one wheel bearing;
- a brake system adapted to be supported by a motor vehicle chassis;
- and
- an indicator device visible from an outside of the wheel hub arrangement for indicating a critical temperature loading of at least a select one of the at least one wheel bearing and the brake system, wherein the indicator device comprises an indicator element that becomes deformed if the critical temperature loading is exceeded.
The wheel hub arrangement as claimed in claim 1, wherein the indicator element irreversibly deformed upon reaching the critical temperature loading.
