Wheel bearing assembly for motor vehicles, the assembly being provided with a wheel hub and a bearing unit in turn provided with a radially outer ring and at least one radially inner ring provided, respectively, with a first raceway and at least one second raceway, with at least one row of rolling bodies arranged between the radially outer ring and the at least one radially inner ring, and with a cage for containing the at least one row of rolling bodies; the wheel bearing assembly is moreover provided with sealing means integrated in the cage and provided with at least two radial contact lips made of elastomeric material, with at least one first radial lip in contact with the radially inner ring and with at least one second radial lip in contact with the radially outer ring.

A sealing device for wheel hubs connected to constant-velocity joints including a first sealing assembly arranged between inner and outer rings of the wheel hub, and a second sealing assembly mounted on the inner ring and straddling the wheel hub and an outer ring of the constant-velocity joint. The first sealing assembly has a signal generating element having an annular insert mounted externally on a shield facing the constant-velocity joint and extending axially projecting above part of an annular step formed, on the same side as the constant-velocity joint, on a radially outer side surface of the inner ring, in a position immediately adjacent to the sleeve portion of the first shield. The second sealing assembly includes a tubular support keyed onto the inner ring by its first end on the outside edge folded in the manner of an L and shaped to engage inside the annular insert.

Sealing device for a wheel hub assembly provided with a rolling bearing, the sealing device being provided with a shield mounted on an outer ring of the bearing and with an annular cylindrical wall having an inner lateral surface mounted on an outer lateral surface of a collar of the outer ring; and with a sealing material fixed to the shield; an annular snap catch being positioned radially inside the cylindrical wall and extending radially from the inner lateral surface through a specified radial thickness so as to be snap-fitted into a circular groove formed on the outer lateral surface of the collar, and the sealing material being positioned behind the catch before the shield is mounted on the outer ring, with a radial overall dimension smaller than the thickness of the catch.

A rolling bearing unit includes: an inner ring member having a recess on a first side in an axial direction, the recess being recessed toward a second side in the axial direction; an outer ring member disposed on the outer periphery side of the inner ring member; a rolling body disposed between the inner ring member and the outer ring member and rotatably supporting the inner ring member with respect to the outer ring member; a transmitter capable of transmitting at least one of electric power or a signal, at least a part of the transmitter being accommodated inside the recess of the inner ring member; and a covering member that is supported by the first side of the outer ring member in the axial direction, covers the first side of the inner ring member in the axial direction, and fixes the transmitter.

A tire/wheel assembly includes a wheel including a disk and a rim, the wheel having a power reception device attached to an inner peripheral surface of the rim to receive electric power supplied wirelessly from farther outward in a radial direction of the wheel than the rim, and a tire attached so as to cover an outer peripheral surface of the wheel and including a pair of bead portions. Each bead portion in the pair of bead portions includes a bead core and a bead filler, and 0.1≤BFW/BDW≤0.6, where BFW is a width in a tire width direction at a central position of the bead filler in a tire radial direction, and BDW is a maximum width in the tire width direction of the bead core.

Detection device for a wheel hub assembly provided with a rolling bearing, the detection device having a phonic wheel made of magnetized material and mounted on a rotating ring of the bearing, a shaped support element angularly constrained to the rotating ring of the bearing arranged directly between the phonic wheel and the rotating ring so as to angularly lock together the phonic ring and the rotating ring, and a sensor facing the phonic wheel; a protection device being integral with the rotating ring of the bearing so as to protect simultaneously both the phonic wheel and the sensor from external contaminants.

A wheel bearing arrangement for a motor vehicle, having a wheel hub and a wheel bearing for rotatably mounting the wheel hub on a wheel carrier. The wheel bearing has an outer ring and an inner ring. A wheel flange extends from the wheel hub in a radial direction and has a brake disc receptacle which is open in the direction facing away from the outer ring and is formed by a recess in the wheel flange and has a brake disc bearing face for a brake disc. A seal-receptacle space is formed in the wheel flange on its side facing the outer ring in an axial direction, in which seal-receptacle space there is a wheel bearing seal. A rim-centering seat element extends from the wheel hub and runs in the direction opposite the brake disc bearing face with respect to the brake disc receptacle.

A bearing device for a wheel, which has improved axial assembly accuracy of a sealing member by reducing the amount of springback. The bearing device for a wheel comprises an inner sealing member that blocks an inner opening end of an annular space formed by an outer ring and an inner ring. A sealing ring of the inner sealing member has a core metal fitting in the outer ring and an elastic member joined to the core metal. The elastic member has: a pressing part that is pressed inward in the axial direction when the sealing ring is press-fitted into the outer ring; and a non-pressing part that is not pressed inward in the axial direction when the sealing ring is press-fitted into the outer ring, wherein the axial thickness of the pressing part is thinner than the axial thickness of the non-pressing part.
