Abstract: A wheel bearing device for a motor vehicle, having an inner ring arrangement, formed for rotationally fixed reception of a first rotary partner, particularly an axle stump, or a shaft, an outer ring arrangement, which is connected and/or connectable and rotationally fixed with a second rotary partner, a multitude of rolling elements, which roll between the inner ring arrangement and the outer ring arrangement, so that inner ring arrangement and outer ring arrangement and/or the rotary partners are rotatable against each other, and an electric sensor device, which, using mechanical contact, is arranged and/or formed for detecting an operating status of the wheel bearing device. The sensor device has a stationary sensor element and a rotating sensor element, which can work together to form the mechanical contact. One of the sensor elements is connected with the inner ring arrangement without the interposition of the first rotary partner.

Abstract: A method for connecting shell parts (01, 02), which have been formed from sheet metal, for example by deep drawing. The shell parts (01, 02) may be any desired workpieces of a chassis part in the form of semifinished items or other components that are suitable for a folded seam connection. For this, the shell parts must have edges which are arranged lying one against the other in the connecting position. The method according includes first arranging the shell parts (1, 2) that are to be connected in a position envisaged for the shell parts (01, 02) in the connected state. Subsequently, the edge (03) of the first shell part (01) is folded around the edge (04) of the second shell part (02), so that a folded seam (06) is formed. After the folding operation, according to the invention the folded seam (06) is heated and subsequently once again pressed together. As a result, a positive and gap-free folded seam connection is achieved, with which the shell parts (01, 02) are permanently firmly connected.

Abstract: An economically producible and compact encoder element for displaying an adjustment and/or movement of a bearing constituent. The encoder element has a carrier and a magnetic or magnetizable encoder layer applied flatly to the carrier. The encoder layer is formed from a matrix material which is liquid in its raw state and a magnetic powder added thereto, and is applied directly to a carrier surface in the liquid raw state by a coating method.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly on a motor vehicle for connecting an outer bearing ring of a rolling bearing and a wheel support which is formed by two cup-shaped molded sheet metal parts that can be fixedly connected so as to form a hollow profiled element. Each of the molded sheet metal parts is provided with a circular hole that is coaxial with the axis of rotation of the rolling bearing, said holes being spaced apart from one another. The space between the holes is occupied by a spacing ring which is axially supported on the inner edges of the molded sheet metal parts, said edges defining the two circular holes, in such a way that a tubular bearing receptacle for the outer bearing ring of the rolling bearing is formed and the molded sheet metal parts are fixedly connected to the spacing ring and the outer bearing ring of the rolling bearing in a positive and frictionally engaged manner.
