  • Patent number: 9180639
    Abstract: A method including the steps of forming an inner ring of a wheel hub, by joining a spindle and an insert ring fitted onto the spindle, on a side of a first end of the spindle; axially blocking the insert ring on the spindle by plastically deforming the first end of the spindle that forms an upset collar therewith, which axially protrudes from the insert ring; frontally obtaining on the collar, on the side opposite to the insert ring, a frontal toothing by means of a single creator tool, towards the collar, with a toothing complementary to that to be obtained, by axially impressing onto the collar, in sequence, one or more teeth of the complementary toothing by eccentrically pushing the creator tool against the collar while the creator tool is held substantially coaxial to the wheel hub, thus acting peripherally in sequence on the whole creator tool.
