  • Patent number: 11585377
    Abstract: A holder has a protrusion which protrudes from a side surface at a side opposite in an axial direction with respect to a rolling element held in a pocket toward the side opposite in the axial direction. An oil supply hole which penetrates through the holder from the side surface to a surface at a side of the rolling element in the axial direction is formed in the holder. When the holder rotates, the protrusion guides oil into the oil supply hole, and the oil is introduced from the side surface of the holder to the surface on the side of the rolling element.

  • Publication number: 20130062929
    Abstract: A hub unit includes a rolling bearing and a flange integrally formed with a hub wheel that may function as a bearing ring member of the rolling bearing. The flange has a plurality of thick portions formed at predetermined intervals in the circumferential direction of the flange. Each thick portion has a bolt hole that extends through the corresponding thick portion in the thickness direction of the thick portion. Work holes through which a working tool is able to be inserted and which extend through the flange in the thickness direction of the flange are formed between the bolt holes adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. A circumferential width of each thick portion that has the bolt hole and that is adjacent to the work holes in the circumferential direction is set to such a width dimension that the thick portion does not interfere, with the adjacent work holes.
