Abstract
The outer raceis fixed to the support holein the knuckle, and the constant velocity jointis connected to the hub. The first seal ringis fitted into the outer raceto cover the opening on the end of the bearing space. The seal ringis fitted into the support holeto cover the opening on the end of the detection space. The encoderis fitted onto the inner race, and the outer peripheral edge of the encoderfaces the inner peripheral surface on the outer racein an adjacent arrangement relationship to form a labyrinth clearance, so that grease within the bearing spaceis prevented from leaking toward the detection space, whereby the rotation resistance is small to improve parts of the automobile in acceleration and fuel consumption.
