Abstract: A wheel bearing (10) is provided with a sealing device (66) comprising at least an outer structure (76) and an inner structure (78) together delimiting a chicane passage(S) having an inlet (E). The outer structure (76) forms an annular gutter (82) which is open radially outwards. The inlet (E) of the chicane passage (S) and the shrink-fitting portion (80) of the outer structure (76) are situated axially on either side of the gutter (82). The shrink-fitting portion (80) of the outer structure (76) is situated on one side of a reference plane (PE) of the outer ring (20), perpendicular to the axis of revolution (XX) and tangential to the end wall (70) of the outer ring (20) opposite to the chicane passage (S) and to the gutter (82).

Abstract: To manufacture a holding flange intended to be inserted into a groove of an outer ring of a rolling bearing, from a metal plate having a plate thickness measured between a front face and an opposite rear face of the metal plate, a method is performed in at least two steps. By penetration of a first tool, along a reference axis perpendicular to the plate and in a direction of penetration from the front face over an intermediate depth less than the plate thickness, the material initially located inside a front geometric envelope is pushed back into a volume axially located between the intermediate depth and the rear face of the holding flange and delimited by a blank geometric envelope.

Abstract: A bearing (10) comprises an inner ring (36), an outer ring (20) and a sealing device (66). The sealing device (66) includes at least an outer structure (76) secured to the outer ring (20), and an inner structure (78) secured to the inner ring (36). The inner structure (78) includes a shrink-fitting portion (88) shrink-fitted onto a shrink-fitting bearing surface (72) of the inner ring (36) and at least one seal seat (90). The outer structure (76) includes at least one seal lip (86) in sliding contact against the seal seat (90). The seal seat (90) is located axially at a distance from an end wall (74) of the inner ring (36), and is closer to the axis of revolution (XX) than the shrink-fitting portion (72).

Abstract: A motor vehicle drive wheel assembly includes a fixed subassembly that includes two outer raceways; a rotating subassembly that includes a wheel hub, two inner raceways and two rows of rolling bodies that are arranged in two pitch planes PP1 and PP2. One of the inner raceways is formed on a rolling bearing ring bearing against a shoulder of the wheel hub along a bearing interface having an outer circumference of large diameter.

Abstract: A suspension strut includes a telescopic damper, a coil spring and a suspension stop. The rotation of the suspension stop is provided by a bearing including at least one single-piece upper washer and a single-piece lower washer, the upper washer forming a planar annular bearing surface for a rod of the telescopic damper. The interface between the coiled spring and the bearing is provided by a single-piece cup including a body forming a peripheral annular zone for housing an upper end of the coiled spring. The single-piece cup includes an anti-wear coating having a thickness of less than 2 mm, overmolded on the body and at least partially covering the peripheral annular zone housing zone in order to be interposed between the body of the single-piece cup and the upper end of the coil spring.

Abstract: An annular static seal for a drive wheel hub assembly including a wheel hub, a torque converter and an inner race shrunk onto the wheel hub and axially held by a flange forming a rear end of the wheel hub, is adapted, in a mounting position, to cover an annular outer perimeter of an interface between the wheel hub and the torque converter located at the rear end of the wheel hub. The static seal includes a resiliently deformable annular fastening portion protruding radially toward the reference axis, producing a resilient fastening of the static seal to the wheel hub.

Abstract: The invention relates to a top mount assembly of a suspension strut, the assembly comprising: a bearing and a filtering sub-assembly abutting the bearing, which includes: a filter block; a lower support having a central portion abutting a lower face of the filter block and a peripheral portion; a cover including a central portion abutting an upper face of the filter block and a peripheral portion abutting the annular peripheral portion of the lower support. The peripheral portion of the cover is provided with fastening openings arranged radially outside the bearing to secure the filtering sub-assembly to a body element of the vehicle.
