  • Wheel bearing unit
    Patent number: 11446957
    Abstract: A hybrid connection element, in particular a bearing outer element of a wheel bearing, includes a core part made of steel and a reinforcement part made of plastic. The reinforcement part at least partially encases the core part. The core part includes a hollow cylindrical bearing unit extending in an axial direction and a flange extending in a radial direction. The reinforcement part includes at least one reinforcement rib which transmits force between the bearing unit and the flange of the core part.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2018
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2022
    Assignee: Schaeffler Technologies AG & Co. KG
