A hub unit bearing includes: an outer ring member; an inner ring member; and a cage. The cage includes a large-diameter side annular portion, a small-diameter side annular portion, pillar portions which axially couple the large-diameter side annular portion and the small-diameter side annular portion, and pockets which are formed between the pillar portions adjacent to each other in a circumferential direction. The pillar portions are formed to be inclined from the small-diameter side annular portion toward the large-diameter side annular portion. An outer diameter surface of the small-diameter side annular portion is formed as a tapered surface which is diameter-expanded toward the large-diameter side annular portion. At least one of the outer diameter surface of the cage and an inner diameter surface of the cage is formed as a cylindrical surface.

A structure which ensures a movement of a seal lip disposed in a seal lip is realized by preventing foreign matters from permeating a seal internal space between a slinger and a seal ring. A labyrinth seal is disposed between an outer peripheral edge of a rotary side annular portion configuring the slinger and an inner peripheral surface of a stationary side cylindrical portion of a metal insert configuring the seal ring. In addition, a thickened portion is formed in a portion of an elastic member configuring the seal ring over an entire periphery. An auxiliary seal lip whose rigidity is lower than that of respective seal lips is disposed in the thickened portion over the entire periphery. The auxiliary seal lip prevents the foreign matters from adhering to the seal lip, and prevents the movement of the seal lip from being hindered.

Rolling bearing unit with combination seal ring

The present invention relates to a bearing apparatus with a sensor and a rolling bearing with a sensor used to movers such as automobiles or railway carriers, facility machines of equipment, or machine tools. One of the embodiments comprises a sensor detecting conditions of the rolling bearing, a ring-shaped sensor cover housing the sensor therein and secured to a stationary-side bearing ring, and a ring shaped presser member secured to a bearing housing provided outside in a radius direction of the sensor cover, or secured to a shaft, and an opening portion is provided at a decided portion of the sensor cover, and projections standing toward a side of the presser member are furnished in the circumference of the opening portion, the presser member is defined with cutouts for inserting the projections, and the cutouts are arranged with the projections.
