1. A wheel hub for vehicle axle, comprising:

  • a cylindrical central body comprising a longitudinal axis, a first lateral end and a second lateral end;

    a plurality of radial projections that surround the cylindrical central body and that vertically extend from a median region of the cylindrical central body;

    radial openings formed by the plurality of radial projections so that open passages are formed between the plurality of radial projections that extend from the first lateral end to the second lateral end of the cylindrical central body;

    an orifice disposed at an end portion of each of the plurality of radial projections; and

    ribs respectively integrated into the plurality of radial projections, at least three of the ribs equipped with guides for wheels, each rib formed by a radial protrusion with a lateral dimension that extends from a corresponding one of the radial projections in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, a width of each rib being substantially constant along the lateral dimension and less than a width of a corresponding radial projection, the ribs beginning from the median region of the cylindrical central body and extending vertically up to the guides.
