Abstract
A wheel bearing for a driven wheel provided with a roller bearing module includes an outer ring and a hub which can be slide onto the outer ring from at least from one side such that it encompasses a partial area of the outer covering of the outer ring, wherein at least one area of the outer covering of the outer ring and one area of an inner covering of the hub are embodied in the form of a conical covering so that they match each other and can be arranged adjacent to each other.
Claims28
A wheel bearing of a driven wheel with a roller bearing assembly, the roller bearing assembly including two rows of rolling bodies, and the wheel bearing comprising an outer ring with a hub slipped onto the outer ring at least from one side, the hub surrounding a partial region of an outer surface of the outer ring, and at least one region of the outer surface of the outer ring and one region of an inner surface of the hub having a truncated cone shape, the truncated cone shape extending axially over both rows of rolling bodies, and the one region of the outer surface of the outer ring and the one region of an inner surface of the hub mutually adjoining one another at the truncated cone shape.
A wheel bearing of a driven wheel comprising:
- a sleeve-shaped axle shaft adapted to receive a drive shaft, the axle shaft possessing an outer surface at which is provided a bearing seat;
- a roller bearing positioned at the bearing seat, the roller bearing comprising two rows of rolling bodies, an outer ring and an inner ring;
- the outer ring possessing a truncated-cone shaped outer surface portion whose outer dimension increases, the truncated-cone shape of the truncated-cone shaped outer surface portion extending axially over both rows of rolling bodies;
- a hub comprising an outwardly extending flange provided with holes for attachment of a rim of a wheel to the hub from a one side of the hub;
- the hub possessing a truncated-cone-shaped inner surface portion adjoining at least a portion of the truncated cone-shaped outer surface portion of the outer ring, the truncated cone-shaped inner surface portion of the hub increasing in dimension in a direction away from the one side of the hub.
