  • Publication number: 20240026929
    Abstract: An annular static seal for a drive wheel hub assembly including a wheel hub, a torque converter and an inner race shrunk onto the wheel hub and axially held by a flange forming a rear end of the wheel hub, is adapted, in a mounting position, to cover an annular outer perimeter of an interface between the wheel hub and the torque converter located at the rear end of the wheel hub. The static seal includes a resiliently deformable annular fastening portion protruding radially toward the reference axis, producing a resilient fastening of the static seal to the wheel hub.

  • Publication number: 20240010040
    Abstract: The invention relates to a top mount assembly of a suspension strut, the assembly comprising: a bearing and a filtering sub-assembly abutting the bearing, which includes: a filter block; a lower support having a central portion abutting a lower face of the filter block and a peripheral portion; a cover including a central portion abutting an upper face of the filter block and a peripheral portion abutting the annular peripheral portion of the lower support. The peripheral portion of the cover is provided with fastening openings arranged radially outside the bearing to secure the filtering sub-assembly to a body element of the vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20230148290
    Abstract: A motor vehicle drive wheel assembly comprising a fixed subassembly comprising two outer raceways; and, a rotating subassembly comprising a first inner race, a second inner race and two rows of balls arranged in two pitch planes PP1 and PP2. The second inner bearing race has an outer diameter, measured in a section plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and located between the first pitch plane and the second pitch plane, at a measurement distance DM of the first pitch plane, which is greater than a given threshold value VS.

  • Publication number: 20230063439
    Abstract: A motor vehicle drive wheel assembly comprising a fixed subassembly comprising two outer raceways; a rotating subassembly comprising a wheel hub, two inner raceways and two rows of rolling bodies that are arranged in two pitch planes PP1 and PP2. One of the inner raceways is formed on a rolling bearing ring that bears against a transmission bowl at an annular contact interface situated between the two pitch planes.

  • Publication number: 20210246940
    Abstract: The invention relates to a roller bearing having an exterior member and an interior member with an interior ring having a raceway and an interior wall which is associated around an exterior bearing surface of a hub of the interior member. The bearing surface has a groove in which an annular member is arranged by having an interior segment axially immobilized in the groove and a exterior segment that projects to form an axial abutment of the the ring. On the hub, the interior member has an encoder with a track capable of generating a signal representative of its rotation. The encoder also has a reinforcement for rotatably securing to the member. The reinforcement has at least one projection arranged around the annular member to prevent its radial movement in the groove.

  • Publication number: 20210239162
    Abstract: The invention concerns a bearing, the inner member having an inner ring with a raceway and an inner wall assembled around an outer bearing surface of a hub of the inner member. The outer bearing surface has a groove in which an annular member ring is arranged having an inner segment axially immobilised in the groove and an outer segment that projects to form an axial stop for the assembly of the inner ring on the hub. The inner member is equipped with an encoder having a track capable of generating a signal representative of its rotation. The encoder also has a frame securing it in rotation to the inner member. The frame has a stop section that is interposed between the inner ring and the outer segment, the inner ring abutting axially on the segment via the stop section.

  • Patent number: 10369854
    Abstract: A device for adjusting camber and/or toe of a vehicle wheel includes a multi-part wheel carrier having a wheel-side carrier part, an axle-side guide part, and an adjusting member, in particular two rotary parts, arranged there between, by which the carrier part is swingable about a wobble point for toe and/or camber adjustment of the vehicle wheel. A bearing point is formed radially outside of the adjusting member, on which the carrier part and the guide part are articulated to one another. The bearing point is designed in a firm manner in the wheel-axle circumferential direction for support of the carrier part which is subjected to a brake torque, and is designed in a soft manner to realize a trouble-free adjustment and, compared with the wheel-axle circumferential direction, a particularly smooth adjustment of the carrier part about the toe and/or camber angle in the vehicle transverse direction.

  • Patent number: 10286954
    Abstract: A device for adjusting camber and/or toe of a vehicle wheel of a motor vehicle, includes a wheel carrier including a wheel-side carrier part, an axle-side guide part and rotary parts arranged between the wheel-side carrier part and the axle-side guide part, the rotary parts being supported on a common bearing site for rotation relative to each other about a rotation axis, the wheel-side carrier part being rotatable about said rotation axis about an instantaneous center of rotation for toe or camber adjustment of the vehicle wheel and supporting a brake caliper interacting with a brake disc of the vehicle wheel; and a torque bridge configured as a torque transmission element which supports the wheel-side carrier part on the axle-side guide part when a braking moment acts on the wheel-side carrier part during a braking process, and which when supporting the wheel-side carrier part on the axle-side guide part generates a directed force component with which the wheel-side carrier part is impingable.
