Abstract
The invention relates to an outer ring of a wheel bearing and the axial securing element thereof, which comprises a radial flange. Said radial flange extends radially outward from the axial end of the tubularly embodied outer ring. The flange is provided with recesses which penetrate the flange in an axial direction, are radially open towards the outside, and are used for fastening the flange to a wheel support.
Claims10
A tubular outer ring of a wheel bearing comprising a radial flange, the flange extending radially outward at the axial end of the outer ring, and the flange having recesses which pass axially through the flange and which are open radially to the outside, for fastening the flange to a wheel carrier, wherein the outer ring is supported radially at least partially in a wheel carrier and the flange is fixed axially to the wheel carrier by fastening elements, the flange being engaged from behind by the fastening elements on a side of the flange which faces axially away from the wheel carrier and is held axially on the wheel carrier.
An axial securing means of an outer ring of a wheel bearing on a wheel carrier, wherein the outer ring bears axially against the wheel carrier with a radial flange and the flange is fixed axially to the wheel carrier by fastening elements, the flange being engaged from behind by the fastening elements on a side of the flange which faces axially away from the wheel carrier and is held axially on the wheel carrier and each of the fastening elements at the same time bear axially against the wheel carrier and against the flange.
