Abstract: A grease composition includes a base oil, a thickener, and an additive. The base oil contains a synthetic oil. The thickener contains a compound having a urea group. The additive contains a phosphoric compound, a calcium-based compound, and a hydrocarbon-based wax. A hub unit includes the grease composition enclosed therein.

Abstract: An upright includes an axle hub, a hub carrier, and a hub tilt detector configured to detect a tilt of the axle hub with respect to the hub carrier. The hub carrier includes a hub support that supports the axle hub, a carrier body which holds the hub support and to which the sensor of the hub tilt detector is fixed, and a deformation member interposed between the hub support and the carrier body and made of a material having a lower Young's modulus than the carrier body.

Abstract: A tire state estimating device includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to acquire generated force of a tire. The electronic control unit is configured to acquire a friction coefficient between the tire and a road surface. The electronic control unit is configured to derive a grip margin of the tire. The electronic control unit is configured to estimate a contact length of the tire in an uncontrolled drive state. The electronic control unit is configured to estimate a cornering power of the tire, based on the contact length of the tire that is estimated and the generated force of the tire that is acquired.

Abstract: A production method for a cover attached to an outer ring of a hub unit including procedures as follows. A nut is supported by a first protrusion of a first mold. By a second protrusion of a second mold, a core bar including a cylindrical section to be inserted into the outer ring is supported. A resin material is injected into a cavity formed by the first mold and the second mold to form a cover including a nut and a core bar. The cover is detached from the second mold by moving the first mold in a direction of being separated from the second mold. After this, the cover is detached from the first mold by pushing out the cover in a die matching direction with a pin disposed in the first mold.

Abstract: A production method for a cover attached to an outer ring of a hub unit first prepares a first mold and a second mold which form a cavity filled with a resin material. Next, by a protrusion of the first mold, a nut is supported. Next, when viewed from an axial direction of the nut, in a state where at least a part of the gate of the second mold overlaps an inside of the nut as compared with an outer circumferential surface of the nut, the first mold and the second mold are die-matched. Then, a resin material is injected into the cavity.

Abstract: Provided is a grease composition containing a base oil, a thickener, and an additive. The base oil contains a poly-?-olefin and has a kinematic viscosity of 20-60 mm2/s at 40° C. The thickener contains a urea compound produced by reacting a diisocyanate compound with a mixed amine containing an alicyclic amine and an aromatic amine. The additive contains a phosphorous acid ester, an ether compound, and an oxidized paraffin.

Abstract: A transmission ratio variable mechanism includes an input member and an output member, which are rotatable around a first axis, an inner ring arranged to connect the input and output members to each other so as to be differentially rotatable, an outer ring, and a motor. A second axis serving as a center axis of the inner ring and the outer ring is inclined to the first axis. The transmission ratio variable mechanism includes uneven engagement sections including a projection provided on one of each of end surfaces of the inner ring and a power transmission surface corresponding to the end surface, and a recess. The inner ring includes a first member forming the first end surface and a second member forming the second end surface. The first and second members are formed separately from each other and coupled to each other so as to be movable together.
