The outer member 1 has a vehicle installation flange 1a on an outer periphery, and double row rolling surfaces 6, 7 are formed on its inner-periphery surface. Rolling surfaces 8, 9 facing the rolling surfaces 6, 7 of the outer member 1 are formed on the inner member 2. The plurality of rolling body 3 is interposed between the rolling surfaces between the members 1, 2. A sensor 4 for detecting the pre-load quantity of the bearing is arranged either at the outer member 1 or the inner member 2.
