Title:
BEARING DEVICE FOR WHEEL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2007/138740
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
[PROBLEMS] A bearing device for a wheel, where contradictory problems of reduction in weight and size of the device and increase in rigidity of the device are solved at the same time. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The bearing device is of a self- retaining type of a third generation structure and has a double- row tapered roller bearing. The pitch circle diameter PCDi of the inner side tapered rollers (4) of the double-row tapered rollers (3, 4) is set smaller than the pitch circle diameter PCDo of the outer side tapered rollers (3). A mortar-shaped recess (15) is formed in the outer side end of a hub ring (5), and the depth of the recess (15) exceeds the bottom of the groove of an inner rolling surface (5a) of the hub ring (5), reaching near a shaft-shaped section (8) of the hub ring (5). The wall thickness t1 on the large diameter side of the inner rolling surface (5a) is set greater than the wall thickness t2 of the center of the inner rolling surface (5a). The relationship between the thickness t1 and the diameter d1 of a portion having this thickness is set to satisfy 0.2 ≤ t1/d1 ≤ 0.3. The above construction solves the contradictory problems of reduction in weight and size of the device and increase in rigidity of the device.
