Abstract
A hub unit bearing includes a stationary side raceway ring, a rotating side raceway ring including a rotating side flange for fixing a vehicle wheel, and rolling elements rollably provided therebetween. The rotating side flange includes thin portions and thick portions arranged alternately in a circumferential direction. A hub bolt is serration-fitted to a bolt hole formed in each of the thick portions. An outer peripheral surface of the rotating side flange includes a large-diameter portion which has a larger radial thickness dimension with the bolt hole, a small-diameter portion which has a smaller radial thickness dimension with the bolt hole than the large-diameter portion, and a step portion which connects the large-diameter portion to the small-diameter portion. A serration-fitted portion does not radially overlap with the large-diameter portion.
