Abstract:
Low-friction sealing assembly for a vehicle wheel-hub unit to be inserted in an annular space defined between a flanged rotating element and a stationary element, to protect at least one ring of rolling members arranged between the stationary element and the rotating element; the flanged rotating element being provided with a flange and a mounting seat delimited by a cylindrical bottom wall and by an axial shoulder arranged on the opposite side to the flange. Nominal dimensions of an internal diameter of a sleeve portion of an annular screen are substantially the same as nominal dimensions of an outer diameter of a cylindrical bottom wall of the mounting seat, and the axial shoulder has an entry edge with a substantially conical form for facilitating mounting of the annular screen on the rotating annular element.

Claim (Index 1):
A low-friction sealing assembly for a vehicle wheel-hub unit to be inserted in an annular space defined between a flanged rotating element and a stationary element, coaxial with each other, so as to protect at least one ring of rolling members arranged between the stationary element and the rotating element; the flanged rotating element being provided with a flange and a mounting seat delimited by a cylindrical bottom wall and by an axial shoulder arranged on the opposite side to the flange, and the sealing assembly comprising an annular screen that is provided with:\n a sleeve portion that is integral with the rotating element inside the mounting seat and is delimited by a lateral mounting surface in relation to the rotating element having a cylindrical form; and a flange portion radially projecting from the sleeve portion; wherein the nominal dimensions of an internal diameter of the sleeve portion of the annular screen are substantially the same as the nominal dimensions of an outer diameter of the cylindrical bottom wall of the mounting seat, and the axial shoulder has an entry edge with a substantially conical form for facilitating mounting of the annular screen on the rotating annular element, and a radial thickness with respect to the outer diameter of the cylindrical bottom wall of the mounting seat with dimensions such as to prevent a plastic deformation of the sleeve portion of the annular screen during the mounting step.
