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.
