Abstract:
1. A wheel bearing module in a wheel carrier, having a wheel bearing and a wheel flange, the wheel flange mounted by means of the wheel bearing to the wheel carrier such that the wheel bearing module rotates about a rotational axis, the wheel bearing module comprising: the wheel bearing has at least one outer ring, the wheel bearing is supported in the wheel carrier at least in sections via the outer ring at least radially with respect to the rotational axis, the outer ring has a flange which points radially away from the rotational axis axially on the end side of the outer ring, the flange is fixed with respect to the wheel carrier axially with fastening elements, the fastening elements reaching at least partially behind the flange on a side of the flange which faces axially away from the wheel carrier, the wheel flange lies axially opposite the outer ring, the wheel flange protruding radially away from the rotational axis at least in sections to a greater extent than the flange, the wheel flange has first recesses which pass axially through the wheel flange, at least one of the first recesses lies axially opposite the flange at least once per revolution of the wheel flange about the rotational axis in such a way, that the wheel flange does not cover the flange axially at least at that location where the fastening elements bears axially against the flange.
