  • Patent number: 7771123
    Abstract: Connection device (100) for connecting a contact rolling bearing (1) to an external body (7), the connection device (100) presenting a peripheral connecting outline (5), which is obtained around a race (3) of the contact rolling bearing, and a complementary connecting outline (6), which is obtained inside the external body (7), and which presents a shape such as to complement the connecting peripheral outline (5) in order to render angularly integral in relation to each other the external body (7) and the first race (3), the connecting peripheral outline (5) and the complementary connecting outline (6) both presenting a radius (R) which is of variable angular dimensions with continuity on a plane which is transverse to the rotation axis (A), and are both provided, in relation to the rotation axis A, with at least one respective convex portion (51).

  • Patent number: 7413202
    Abstract: Strut for a vehicle which is interposed between a suspension and a semi-axis of the vehicle, and which is provided with a central body, and a passing housing which is obtained through the central body along a longitudinal axis (A) in order to house a rolling contact bearing which is interposed between the strut itself and the semi-axis; a coupling device being foreseen between the rolling contact bearing and the passing housing, and being defined by two connecting outlines which are obtained around the rolling contact bearing and, respectively, inside the passing housing with a shape which is complementary in relation to each other, and presenting a radius (R) of angularly variable dimensions with continuity on a plane which is transverse to the longitudinal axis (A), and at least one respective convex portion in relation to the longitudinal axis (A).

  • Publication number: 20060019758
    Abstract: Homokinetic joint for a wheel hub, the homokinetic joint being able to be coupled in rotation to a spindle of the relative wheel hub in order to rotate around a rotation axis (A), and being provided with a coupling end which is inserted inside an axial passing housing of the spindle, and with a coupling device, which is suitable for transmitting a torque moment between the homokinetic joint and the wheel hub, and which presents two connecting outlines, which are obtained around the coupling end and, respectively, inside the axial housing; and presenting a shape which is complementary in relation to each other, and a radius (R) of angularly variable dimensions with continuity on a plane which is transverse to the rotation axis (A); the two connecting outlines being both provided, in relation to the rotation axis (A), with at least one convex portion.

  • Publication number: 20020066185
    Abstract: A hub bearing unit comprises a rotatable annular element (11) for mounting a wheel, and a stationary annular element (13) to be mounted to the vehicle and defining a rotation axis (x) for the rotatable element (11). The rotatable element has a radial flange (11b) with a radial surface (11c) for axially resting against a brake rotor (16). The stationary element (13) is held in a determined position by means of non rotating retaining means (120, 121) of a machining apparatus to orient the rotation axis (x) in a determined direction.

  • Patent number: 5927820
    Abstract: A hub-wheel assembly having a rolling bearing wherein the rolling bodies roll between an inner ring having a flange for connection to the wheel and to the brake disk, and an outer ring having a flange for connection to the suspension upright. The bearing has an applied element in turn having two ears for connection of the brake calipers, and which is connected peripherally to the flange of the outer ring; and the applied element and the flange of the outer ring are made angularly integral with each other by pins engaging respective holes formed partly along the edge of the applied element and partly along the mating edge of the flange of the outer ring.
