Patent ID: 8651247

Claim:
A vehicle wheel hub and bearing assembly comprising: a single disc brake rotor having a braking surface and an attachment flange, wherein the attachment flange has a plurality of rotor tabs; a package wheel bearing hub having a wheel mounting flange and a disc brake rotor mounting flange with a surface for attachment to a disc brake rotor, wherein the disc brake rotor mounting flange has a shoulder with shoulder tabs for engagement with the rotor tabs, and the package wheel bearing hub and disc brake rotor mounting flange are integrally constructed as one piece; and a fastener means for coupling the attachment flange of the disc brake rotor to the disc brake rotor mounting flange of the package wheel bearing hub to provide radial movement between the attachment flange and the disc brake rotor mounting flange to accommodate thermal expansion, wherein the fastener means includes a bridge for clamping and securing the rotor tabs between the shoulder tabs, and wherein each radially oriented surface of the rotor tabs and shoulder tabs directly contact one another, and wherein the disc brake rotor mounting flange and the wheel mounting flange are substantially coplanar.
