Abstract
A cover for a wheel-hub bearing made of plastic is provided. The cover includes an end wall that is arranged transversely with respect to a central axis (X) and a cylindrical mounting wall, which extends axially from one side of the end wall around the axis (X). The cover also includes a snap-action step that projects in a radially outwards direction from the cylindrical wall for locking the cover on a tubular appendage of the bearing a resilient ring that is arranged between an annular shoulder portion of the cover and the tubular appendage to exert a resilient recall action on the snap-action step.
