  • Patent number: 11535056
    Abstract: A wheel hub having an axis of symmetry and including a flange transverse to the axis of symmetry and provided with a plurality of fixing holes for attaching a wheel, a tubular body extending axially from the flange for supporting a rolling bearing, and a centering device arranged on a side of the flange opposite to that of the tubular body and in a position concentric with the axis of symmetry of the wheel hub, for retaining a wheel rim or a brake disc. The centering device being provided with a given number of flattened areas extending circumferentially and axially on a respective continuous tubular body projecting axially from the flange.
