Abstract: There is provided a lighting device capable of forming a line beam having a sufficiently long length in an irradiation direction. A distance between a light source end close to irradiation surface and irradiation surface is greater than a distance between lens center and irradiation surface by using light source in which a plurality of light emitters is arranged in a straight line and lens of which an emission surface having a constant curvature is corrected by an odd function. Accordingly, a shape of light source is formed on irradiation surface, and thus, it is possible to form line beam having the sufficiently long length in the irradiation direction.

Abstract: An encoder 12 a characteristic of which is changed alternately at an equal interval in a circumferential direction is supported/fixed onto a hub 4 concentrically with the hub 4. A sensing portion of a sensor 13 supported on the outer ring 3 is positioned in close vicinity to a sensed surface of the encoder 12 to face thereto. Width dimensions of first and second sensed portions provided onto the sensed surface are changed continuously in a direction along which a to-be-sensed load is applied. Since a pattern according to which an output signal of the sensor 13 is changed is changed pursuant to a change of the load, the load is derived by observing this pattern. The output signal is also utilized to sense a rotation speed of the hub 4 in ABS or TCS control.

Abstract: An encoder 12 changing a characteristic thereof alternately and at equal intervals with respect to circumferential direction is supported by and fixed to the hub 4 concentrically. A detecting portion of a sensor 13 supported by the outer ring 3 is closely opposed to a detected face of the encoder 12. Width dimensions of first, second detecting portions provided at the detected face are changed continuously with respect to direction of operating a load to be detected. In accordance with a change of the load, a pattern of changing an output signal of the sensor 13 is changed. Thus, the load is calculated by observing the pattern. By performing filtering process on a signal expressing the change in the pattern, a variation based on the mounting error or the like is removed.

Abstract: Revolution speeds nca, nib of rolling elements 9a, 9b are sensed by a pair of revolution speed sensors 21a, 21b. Also, a rotational speed ni of a hub 2 is sensed by a rotational speed sensor 15b. A sum “nca+ncb” or a difference “nca?nib” the revolution speeds of rolling elements 9a, 9b in double rows is calculated based on sensed signals of the revolution speed sensors 21a, 21b, and then a ratio “nca+nib/ni” or “nca?ncb/ni” of this sum or difference to the rotational speed ni is calculated. Then, the radial load or the an axial load is calculated based on the ratio “nca+ncb/ni” or “ca?nib/ni”.
