Abstract

Wheel-bearing and brake-disk unit designed such that forces (deformations) when the rim is being screwed on largely avoid resulting axial run-out in the brake disk. The bearing flange to which the rim and pot-shaped part of the brake disk are attached has first fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the first openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent first openings. The pot-shaped part of the brake disk has second fastening openings and a larger diameter in the regions of the second openings and a smaller diameter between adjacent second openings.
