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.

Abstract: A sealing device includes a seal member and a slinger. The slinger has a slinger fixing part, a first radial part, a first axial part, a second radial part, and a second axial part facing a seal fixing part of the seal member in a radial direction across a first clearance. The seal member has a large-diameter part facing, in an axial direction, an end of the second axial part on the other side in an axial direction across a second clearance. An outer circumferential surface of the large-diameter part and an outer circumferential surface of the second axial part are included in a flow passage surface of a continuous outside flow passage that extends in a straight line along the axial direction. The first clearance and the second clearance communicate with each other, and the sealing device has a labyrinth clearance including the first clearance and the second clearance.

Abstract: A hub unit that is to be installed on a vehicle is provided with: an outer ring having, on the inner circumferential surface, a first outer raceway surface and a second outer raceway surface that is disposed to the outside of the first outer raceway surface in the vehicle width direction when the hub unit is installed on the vehicle; an inner shaft that is disposed on the inside of the outer ring concentrically with the outer ring and on which a wheel is installed on the outer end in the vehicle width direction; and an inner ring that is press-fitted to the inner shaft on the inner end in the vehicle width direction.

Abstract: A sealing device includes a seal member and a slinger. A labyrinth clearance is provided in a part of a clearance between the seal member and the slinger. The labyrinth clearance includes an outer clearance that opens toward the outside, a central clearance which is continuous with the outer clearance and of which a flow passage direction intersects with that of the outer clearance, and an inner clearance which is continuous with the central clearance and of which a flow passage direction intersects with that of the central clearance. An opening of the outer clearance has a dimension of 0.3 mm or larger and 0.7 mm or smaller. The central clearance has a length of 3 mm or longer in the flow passage direction. The inner clearance has a clearance dimension of 0.3 mm or larger and 1.0 mm or smaller.

Abstract: A rolling bearing device includes a rolling bearing partially submerged in lubricating oil stored in an oil pocket provided in a vertically lower portion of a housing to a level corresponding to a part of an annular space, an annular shielding member, and an annular seal component. The shielding member has an oil drain portion for drainage of the lubricating oil in the annular space to the outside of the rolling bearing at a vertical level above an oil level of the lubricating oil stored in the oil pocket when the rotary shaft is stationary. The oil drain portion has an inclined groove having an inclined surface inclined away from the rolling bearing and an opening provided in an outer end portion at a distal end of the inclined surface. The inclined groove is tapered toward a vertical top of the shielding member when viewed in the axial direction.

Abstract: A wheel bearing apparatus includes an outer ring, an inner shaft member, rolling elements, a cage, and a sealing device. The sealing device includes an annular slinger and a sealing member. The slinger has a first inclined surface provided on a radially outer side and on a side facing the sealing member such that a diameter of the first inclined surface increases toward a first side in an axial direction. The sealing member has a second inclined surface provided on the radially outer side and on a side facing the slinger such that a diameter of the second inclined surface increases toward a second side in the axial direction. The second inclined surface intersects with a virtual extension surface extending radially outwardly along the first inclined surface, and the second inclined surface is continuous with an inner peripheral surface of the radially outer portion.

Abstract: Rolling bearings are stacked with their center lines extending in a vertical direction. Each of the rolling bearings has an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of balls, and an annular cage. Each of the rolling bearings has a structure that induces, upon rotation, an action that causes lubricating oil to flow upward along the outer ring in the annular space. The cage has an annular portion provided adjacently below the balls to prevent air from moving to the outer ring side from the inner ring side.

Abstract: An orifice 26 is provided in an air supply passage 5a of a warm air heater 100, and a differential pressure sensor 28 detects differential pressure ?p between front and rear of the orifice 26 in the air supply passage 5a.
