Abstract: A wheel hub (1) having a radially extending wheel flange (17) which has fastening holes (3), having a cylindrical projection which extends from the wheel flange (17) axially on the vehicle side and which serves for at least partially receiving a rolling bearing, and having a centering device which is mounted axially on the wheel side. A high rigidity of the wheel hub (1) and/or of the wheel bearing unit is realized with little material usage. One possibility arises by the centering device of a wheel hub being regarded as the product of the compromise between rigidity and possible material removal. In this regard, a particular arrangement of the webs that form the centering device is provided which leads to a particularly advantageous solution, specifically by virtue of the webs (7) being oriented in the same radial direction (A, B) as the fastening holes (3) of the wheel flange (17).

Abstract: The wheel bearing assembly connects a journal section of the hub and a joint body. The wheel bearing assembly has an adapter section is connected to a joint cap, a journal section connected to a wheel hub. A separate inner ring is located on the journal section. The adapter section and the journal section intermesh by means of end gearing. The assembly also has a tensioning element that mutually braces the adapter section and the journal section under an overall pre-tension, the end gearing being braced by a first pre-tension along a first force path A between the adapter section and the journal section and the inner ring being braced by a second pre-tension along a second force path B between the adapter section and the journal section. At least some sections of the first and second force paths A and B are parallel.
