Abstract: A roller includes: an outer peripheral rolling contact surface which is shaped by a simultaneous process in a state where end faces of a plurality of rollers are in contact with each other; and a protrusion which is axially protruded further than an axial end of the outer peripheral rolling contact surface. The protrusion has a protruded end face which, when the outer peripheral rolling contact surface is ground, is in contact with the end face of one of the rollers which are adjacent to each other, and forms an axial gap between ends of the outer peripheral rolling contact surfaces of the rollers which are adjacent to each other, in a state where the protruded end face is in contact with the end face. The protrusion further has a gap with respect to a tool when the outer peripheral rolling contact surface is processed.

Abstract: An outer ring of a bearing device for a vehicle has a cylindrical main body extending from an inner vehicle side to an axially opposite side. The main body has a raceway at an inner peripheral surface. A flange is provided at an outer peripheral surface of the outer ring toward the ring's vehicle inner side end. A cylindrical fitting tolerance part also is provided at the outer peripheral surface of the outer ring, at a position closer to the vehicle inner side end than the flange. The axial length of the cylindrical fitting tolerance part may be designed to be any of various lengths. The bearing device is manufactured by turning the cylindrical main body while holding the flange, such as for embodiments in which the cylindrical fitting tolerance part has a short length unsuitable for holding.

Abstract: A flange face portion located radially outwardly of boltholes of a flange is formed as a tilting face so that a maximum oppositely-spaced distance ? of the flange face portion from a disc rotor is preferably 10 ?m. Thereby, minimization is implemented for convex deformation of an outer circumferential end portion of the flange when bolts are press-inserted into boltholes, when nuts are tightened onto bolts, tightening forces compress the disc rotor and the flange to be in close contact and to be fixed-via planar surfaces thereof without clearance being formed therebetween. Consequently, the accuracy of side run-out with surface of the flange can be prevented from being deteriorated.

Abstract: To securely do turning to the cylindrical body part of an outer ring even if the axial length of the fitting tolerance part thereof is short in a bearing device for a vehicle. After the outer and inner peripheral surfaces of the cylindrical body part are made turning in a state where a holding device holds the flange of the outer ring, the turning surfaces of the cylindrical part are held. The side-face on vehicle inner side of the flange and the outer peripheral surface of the fitting tolerance part are finished by turning based on the turning surfaces of the held cylindrical body part.
