Patent number: 6705762Abstract: A bearing-suspension standard assembly for a motor vehicle wheel comprises a standard (10) with an essentially cylindrical seat (11), and a bearing unit (12) with a non-rotating outer race (13) fixedly mounted in the seat (11). A cementing material (16) is applied at one of the axial ends of the seat (11) so as to lock the bearing unit (12) in the seat (11).Type: GrantFiled: March 29, 2002Date of Patent: March 16, 2004Assignee: SKF Industries S.p.A.Inventors: Simona Pilone, Pierangelo Cherio, Fabrizio Iarrera, John Van De Sanden

Patent number: 6379050Abstract: In a vehicle wheel hub bearing unit the bearing forms a rotating radial flange (11) adapted for securing to a radial flange (12) of a disc or drum brake member and rotate fixedly therewith. The brake flange (12) is located in the same radial plane of the bearing flange (11) and secured directly to the peripheral portion thereof. Radial bulk of the bearing assembly is reduced and deformation of the bearing races and braking surface is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 1999Date of Patent: April 30, 2002Assignee: SKF Industries S.P.A.Inventors: Paolo Bertetti, Mauro Picca, Fabrizio Iarrera

Patent number: 5957590Abstract: In a sealing device for angular contact ball bearings comprises an outer race (20), a pair of inner adjacent half-races (30, 31) and two sets of balls (40, 41) interposed between the outer race (20) and the two inner half-races (30, 31), respectively. The sealing device is mounted to one (30) of the two inner half-races (30, 31) in an axially external position and comprises a body of resiliently yieldable material. The sealing device comprises a retaining lip (14) so shaped as to face a concave surface (22) fast with the outer race (20) and stop against said surface (22) to prevent the inner half-race (30) from coming off when not locked in its operation position yet.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 1997Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: SKF Industries S.p.A.Inventors: Mauro Picca, Luciano Pons, Angelo Vignotto

Patent number: 5902065Abstract: In a device for gauging relative rotational speed between the races of a bearing unit, a sensor is mounted to a fixed part and faces a rotating impulse ring. The sensor is incorporated within a detachable head (12) having releasable quick coupling means (13, 20), such as a clip, for mounting to a corresponding quick coupling seat (14), such as an appendix, rigid with the non-rotating race (15) of the bearing assembly. The appendix (14) is oriented in an axial or slightly inclined direction with respect to the axis of rotation. Mounting and removal of the head (12) is accomplished with a simple movement in said direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 1996Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: SKF Industries S.p.A.Inventors: Paolo Forestiero, Christian Rigaux

Patent number: 5383728Abstract: A sealing shield, particularly for rolling bearings, of the type wherein relatively soft, elastic peripheral portions are secured to a relatively rigid intermediate portion; the intermediate portion consisting of a single rigid annular insert formed from a synthetic plastic polymer; and the relatively soft peripheral portions being preferably in the form of independent elements co-molded on to the annular insert and formed from a mixture of an elastomer and the same synthetic plastic polymer from which the annular insert is formed. In a preferred embodiment, the annular insert has a trapezoidal radial cross-section.Type: GrantFiled: November 5, 1992Date of Patent: January 24, 1995Assignee: SKF Industries S.p.A.Inventors: Mario Micca, Vito C. Maselli
