Abstract
A wheel bearing flange with a periphery having axial extensions for the mounting of a flat annular brake disk thereon. An isolating connecting element between the axial extensions and the brake disk. The axial extensions have radially outwardly directed projections which engage in radially inward recesses with the interior of the brake disk. The connecting element elastically pre-loads the brake disk relative to the axial extensions to elastically compensate for displacements of the brake disk while driving.
