Patent ID: 8025578

Claim:
A wheel hub/universal joint assembly with an axis of rotation (A), comprising a wheel hub with a wheel flange for connecting a wheel and with a sleeve portion for receiving a wheel bearing; a constant velocity universal joint with an outer joint part, an inner joint part and torque transmitting elements; wherein said outer joint part, at its end facing said wheel hub, comprises a first face toothing with first teeth and wherein said sleeve portion, at its end facing said constant velocity universal joint, comprises a second face toothing with second teeth, wherein said first and second face toothings engage one another for torque transmitting purposes; clamping means for axially clamping said wheel hub to the outer joint part, said clamping means axially supported on said wheel hub and on said outer joint part, wherein at least one of said first and second face toothings is designed in such a way that said first and second teeth, when clamping together the assembly, contact one another first on a radial outside and, as the clamping operation progresses, also on a radial inside, wherein said first and second face toothings comprise tooth tip lines and tooth root lines, wherein said tooth tip lines and said tooth root lines intersect one another in a point of intersection (S), wherein said point of intersection (S) is positioned on the axis of rotation (A).
