  • Patent number: 7305765
    Abstract: Respective constituent members of a wheel bearing unit 5 are assembled and also a cover 74 is fixed to an inner end portion of an outer ring 6. The wheel bearing unit 5 is fitted to a turning machine 38 in a state that a space in which an encoder 72 is provided is sealed tightly from an outside by fitting a stop plug 96 into an insertion hole 84 provided in the cover 74. A top end portion of a rotating shaft 40 of a turning machine 38 is engaged with an engaged concave portion 102 provided to a hub 8a. A turning process is applied to an outer side surface of a rotary flange 13 while turning the hub 8a around the outer ring 6 by the rotating shaft 40, and thus the outer side surface is processed in predetermined shape and dimension.

  • Patent number: 6065879
    Abstract: A rolling bearing with seal has a stationary inner race and rotatable outer race, a first sealing ring faced to the external space and mounted to the inner peripheral end portion of the outer race which rotates during use, so that even if foreign matter in the external space such as muddy water adheres to the outside surface of the first sealing ring, it is slung off by the centrifugal force, while a second sealing ring faced to the balls and mounted to the outer peripheral end portion of the inner race, whereby it is possible to nearly completely prevent the muddy water from penetrating into the space where the rolling elements are located.
