Component For A Steering Suspension Of A Vehicle

A steering suspension (2) of a vehicle comprising a suspension upright (3) and a wheel hub unit (4) comprising, in turn, a mechanical component comprising a radially outer ring (1;

• 1b;
• 1c;
• 1d;
• 1e;
• 1f) of the wheel hub unit or of a rolling bearing forming part of the wheel hub unit;
• wherein the outer ring is fixed integral with the suspension upright (3) by means of a flange (14) formed integral in one piece with the outer ring;
• characterized in that the outer ring is provided integral in one piece with a radially outer lateral surface (8) thereof and with the flange (14) of a steering arm (10;
• 10b;
• 10c), extending radially outward from the outer ring and the flange, and, on the side opposite to the steering arm, of a pair of axially drilled radial lugs (16), provided integral in one piece with the flange (14) and configured to support in use a brake caliper (19).

A radially outer ring (1;

• 1b;
• 1c;
• 1d;
• 1e;
• 1f) for a wheel hub unit or for a rolling bearing forming part of the wheel hub unit (4);
• said radially outer ring being bounded between a radially inner lateral surface (7) and a corresponding radially outer lateral surface (8) substantially coaxial with the radially inner lateral surface (7), the latter being provided with at least one annular raceway (9) configured to receive in use respective rolling elements (6) of the wheel hub unit;
• characterized in that, in combination:
• (i)—from the radially outer lateral surface (8) extends radially cantilevered from the outer ring a steering arm (10;
• 10b;
• 10c) provided with at least one respective engagement interface (11) configured to receive in use a steering tie rod (12);
• (ii)—from a first axial end (13) of the radially outer lateral surface (8) extends radially cantilevered from the outer ring a flange (14) configured to be in use connectable integral to a suspension upright (3);
• (iii)—the flange (14) is provided radially cantilevered on a first side thereof (15) of at least one pair of lugs (16) obtained integral in one piece with the flange (14) and each provided with a first through-hole (18) oriented parallel to an axis of symmetry (A) of the outer ring and configured to support in use, integral with the outer ring, a brake caliper (19);
• iv)—the steering arm (10;
• 110b;
• 10c) and the flange (14) being integrally machined in one piece with the outer ring (1;
• 1b;
• 1c;
• 1d;
• 1e;
• 1f).
