WHEEL FLANGE AND COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AXLE DESIGNED FOR CONNECTING A WHEEL TO A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE AXLE

摘要

The invention relates to a wheel flange (1) for fastening a wheel to a commercial vehicle axle, on which it can be rotated about its central longitudinal axis (L) by means of a wheel bearing (2). The wheel flange (1) has an outer ring section (6) with wheel bolt openings (9, 9 ', 9 "), an inner ring section (10) with wheel bearing screw openings (14, 14', 14") and a transition section (17) with ventilation openings ( 18,18 ', 18 ") provided between the outer and the inner ring section (6, 10) The wheel flange (1) according to the invention enables optimized ventilation of the wheel bearing (2) with minimal weight Number of wheel bolt openings (9, 9 ', 9 ") is greater than or equal to the number of wheel bearing screw openings (14, 14', 14"), each wheel bearing screw opening (14, 14 ', 14 ") is a wheel bolt opening (9, In the case where the number of wheel bearing screw openings (14,14 ', 14 ") is greater than the number of wheel bolt openings (9,9', 9"), on the other hand, each wheel bolt opening (9,9 ', 9 ") are associated with a wheel bearing screw opening (14, 14', 14"), whichever is the case the center points (M, M ') of the wheel bearing screw openings (14, 14', 14 ") and wheel bolt openings (9, 9 ', 9") assigned to one another are in each case arranged together on an imaginary connecting straight line (G) originating from the central longitudinal axis (L) G ', G ") arranged and the ventilation openings (18,18', 18") in each case in one of two adjacent connecting lines (G, G ', G ") limited area of the transition section (17).
