  • Patent number: 10328746
    Abstract: A wheel hub unit having a central hub and a single central nut that includes respective shaped profiles radially oriented facing towards an axis (A) is provided. The wheel hub unit further includes an anti-unscrewing element interposed between the central hub and the single central nut to prevent accidental unscrewing of the single central nut. The anti-unscrewing element is provided with respective shaped profiles both radially oriented facing away from the axis (A) to engage with shaped profiles.

  • Patent number: 9259962
    Abstract: An asymmetrical hub bearing assembly for the wheel of a motor vehicle provides a flanged hub rotatable around an axis of rotation (x), a flange transversal to the axis (x), an outer ring with raceways axially spaced from one another, and two rows of balls, of which the axially outer row has a pitch circle with a diameter greater than that of the axially inner row. The flanged hub includes a tubular portion which protrudes in the axially outer direction beyond the flange and provides a thread for a single central threaded fastener adapted to releasably lock a wheel on the hub.

  • Patent number: 8231279
    Abstract: A unit (1) for supporting the axle-shafts of go-karts provided with an annular body (12) having a variable perimeter and with a rolling bearing (20), set within the annular body (12) itself with the possibility of oscillation about an axis of adjustment (B) transverse to an axis (B) of rotation of the bearing (20) itself; a tightening system (30) being provided for tightening the support (11) on the bearing (20) and for blocking the bearing (20) itself in an operative position, and being defined by at least two sharp edges (32) (33) (36), fixed with respect to the bearing (20) and set about the axis (B) of rotation for cutting into a softer material of the concave seat (13), preventing any rotation of the bearing (20) about the axis (A) of adjustment in said operative position.
