Abstract: The wheel support bearing assembly is for rotatably supporting a vehicle wheel relative to an automotive vehicle body, which includes an outer member having an inner periphery formed with a plurality of rows of raceway surfaces, an inner member having raceway surfaces formed therein in face-to-face relation with the raceway surfaces in the outer member, and a plurality of rows of rolling elements interposed between those raceway surfaces, respectively; a sensor unit including a sensor mounting member and a strain sensor fitted to the sensor mounting member, the sensor unit being fitted to a stationary member, which is one of the outer member and the inner member; and wherein the sensor mounting member includes at least two contact fixing portion relative to the stationary member and the strain sensor is arranged at at least one location between the contact fixing portions.

Abstract: A sensor-incorporated wheel support bearing assembly (18) includes an outer member (1) having an inner peripheral surface formed with double rows of raceway surfaces (4), an inner member (2) having an outer peripheral surface formed with raceway surfaces (5) opposed to the raceway surfaces (4) in the outer member (1), and double rows of rolling elements (3) interposed between the raceway surfaces (4) and (5) in the outer and inner members (1) and (2). Rings (9A) and (9B) each having an outer peripheral surface tapered is secured to the inner member (2). A displacement sensor (10) confronting the tapered outer peripheral surfaces of the rings (9A) and (9B) is mounted on the outer member (11) or a member (17) rigidly secured to the outer member (1) for measuring the distance between such displacement sensor (10) and the rings (9A) and (9B).
