Preferably, the wheel hub includes an axial projection disposed radially inside a connecting section of the bell, the projection interacting with the connecting section during the high-pressure internal forming process in order to connect the wheel hub to the bell. The projection is preferably configured to deform plastically and is connected to the bell in an interference-fit manner. Further, the wheel hub preferably provides an inner ring of a bearing unit and either the bell of the constant velocity joint provides another inner ring or a separate inner ring is disposed between the wheel hub and the bell.

Hub and rotor separator and method

Methods and devices and clamps for separating a hub from a rotor of a rotor/hub assembly, including a platform having a top portion to receive the rotor and an opening to allow a pusher from a jack or press to pass through the opening, and a set of clamps configured to hold the rotor in a fixed position with respect to the platform while the pusher pushes through the opening to contact the hub to separate the hub from the rotor. The clamps are generally C-shaped and devoid of moving parts and slip inwardly upon the platform to hold the rotor while the pusher pushes upward to release the hub from the rotor, and the clamps have a slot to allow the clamps to rotate and store out of position in a non-use mode.

METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING AT LEAST ONE RING COOPERATING BY SHRINKING WITH A SHRINK-FITTING SURFACE OF A PART

A method for assembling a ring by shrinking the ring onto a shrink-fitting surface of a part, the shrink-fitting surface being turned radially away from a reference axis, the part having a free upper end and an inner wall extending around the reference axis turned radially toward the reference axis and extending axially while delimiting at least part of an axial cavity. The method including the steps of forming, on the inner wall, splines extending axially; shrinking the ring on the part so that a lower transverse face of the ring comes into abutment against a shoulder of the part. After the step of forming the splines and prior to the step of shrinking the ring onto the part, radial elastoplastic expansion of an upper portion of the part results in a widening of the shrink-fitting surface and of a portion of the splines.
