Abstract
Arrangement including a portion of a radially outer lateral surface of an inner ring of wheel hub having an annular step formed on a constant velocity joint. The step is adapted to receive a first shield, a flange portion that radially extends to protrude towards an outer ring of a wheel hub, in front of a flange portion of a second shield, from a first end of a sleeve portion of the first shield facing on the side opposite of the constant velocity joint and axially protrudes from the inner ring and towards the joint, defining a tubular element arranged straddling wheel hub and an outer ring of the constant velocity joint, having an opposite second end, supporting an annular seal; an annular signal generating insert covers a face of the flange portion, wherein a radially inner annular part of face defines a thrust shoulder for mounting the first shield.
