Abstract: A sealing unit for a wheel bearing, including a cover cap of sheet metal on a rotationally fixed bearing ring. An elastic seal on the cover cap. A baffle plate which protrudes in a radial direction, displaced on a bearing ring which can rotate with respect to the rotationally fixed bearing ring. The cover cap has a rotationally symmetrical hollow shoulder which extends axially in the direction of roller bodies of the bearing. The seal is fixed with respect to the shoulder of the cover cap and at the same time the seal bears with at least one sealing lip, at least once in a radially sealing fashion against a hollow cylindrical section which is fixed with respect to the rotatable bearing ring and protrudes axially from the baffle plate in the direction of the bearing roller bodies.

Abstract: A meter bearing with a recess located at the periphery of at least one of the bearing rings. Expansion-measuring strips are disposed in the recess and conducting paths and electronic modules are arranged on a supporting material and evaluate and transmit the output signals of the expansion-measuring strips. The expansion-measuring strips are connected to the electrical conducting paths which extend to the electronic modules. In order to reduce the space required for such a measuring and evaluation system in a meter bearing, the expansion-measuring strips are placed below and/or above the radial plane of the supporting material and of the conductor paths and electronic modules located thereupon.

Abstract: Wheel-bearing and brake-disk unit designed such that forces (deformations) when the rim is being screwed on largely avoid resulting axial run-out in the brake disk. The bearing flange to which the rim and pot-shaped part of the brake disk are attached has first fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the first openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent first openings. The pot-shaped part of the brake disk has second fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the second openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent second openings.

Abstract: An auxiliary, power-actuated, pivotable wheel bearing unit is accommodated on a wheel carrier such that it can be pivoted about a pivot axis. An actuating element is attached to the bearing unit at a joint axis to pivot the bearing unit about the pivot axis. The axes are positioned with the pivot axis below the mid-axis of the bearing unit and the joint axis above the mid-axis.

Abstract: A wheel bearing having an external, rotating, magnetic encoder which registers rotational speed of the bearing, and a magnetic particle trapping device spaced from the magnetic encoder to protect it against contamination. The trapping device includes a permanent magnet and a cooperating soft iron member which together form an L-shaped configuration relative to each other, with the magnet extending axially relative to the rotation of the wheel and the soft iron member extending radially, or vice versa. Contaminants are collected in a space between the soft iron member and the magnet. A magnetically non-conductive element may be provided to separate the trapping device from the metallic housing of the constant velocity joint on which the trapping device is mounted. A wiping finger may be provided to dislodge accumulated contaminant particles, which may then fall to the roadway.
