Claims
- 1. A rolling bearing unit comprising:a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface, a rotating ring member having a second raceway facing the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface which faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, the cylindrical portion having a shoulder section, a tone wheel formed in an annular shape so as to have a detected portion with magnetic characteristics circumferentially alternately changing, a cylindrical section fitted over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, a flange extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member to receive a force which presses the tone wheel, and an abutting face formed between the cylindrical section and the detected portion so as to be abutted to the shoulder section of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member.
- 2. A process of assembling a rolling bearing unit comprising:providing a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface, a rotating ring member having a second raceway facing the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween, a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface which faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, and a shoulder section on the cylindrical portion, a tone wheel formed in an annular shape so as to have a detected portion with magnetic characteristics circumferentially alternately changing, a cylindrical section fitted over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, a flange portion extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member to receive a force which presses the tone wheel, and an abutting face formed between the cylindrical section and the detected portion so as to be abutted to the shoulder section on the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member, and forcing the flange portion for press-fitting the tone wheel over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member.
- 3. A rolling bearing unit comprising:a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface, a rotating ring member having a second raceway which faces the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween, a cylindrical portion of which has a peripheral surface facing the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member having a shoulder section, a tone wheel which is formed in an annular shape to be fixed to the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member and formed with a detected portion the magnetic characteristics of which change circumferentially alternately, a flange portion extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member so as to prevent grease from flowing out of an interior of the rolling bearing unit during rotation of the rotating ring member, and an abutting face formed between a cylindrical section and the detected portion so as to be abutted to the shoulder section of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member.
- 4. A rolling bearing unit comprising:a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface; a rotating ring member having a second raceway facing the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface which faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, a tone wheel made of a single metal plate ring and formed in an annular shape so as to have a detected portion with circumferentially alternately changing magnetic characteristics, a cylindrical section fitted over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, and a flange portion extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member to receive a force which presses the tone wheel, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member.
- 5. A process of assembling a rolling bearing unit comprising:providing a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface, a rotating ring member having a second raceway facing the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface which faces the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, a tone wheel made of a single metal plate ring and formed in an annular shape so as to have a detected portion with circumferentially alternately changing magnetic characteristics, a cylindrical section fitted over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, and a flange portion extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member to receive a force which presses the tone wheel, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member, and forcing the flange portion for press-fitting the tone wheel over the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member.
- 6. A rolling bearing unit comprising:a stationary ring member having a first raceway and a cylindrical portion formed with a peripheral surface, a rotating ring member having a second raceway which faces the first raceway with rolling elements therebetween, and a cylindrical portion which has a peripheral surface facing the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member, a tone wheel made of a single metal plate ring and formed in an annular shape to be fixed to the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member, said tone wheel formed with a detected portion the magnetic characteristics of which change circumferentially alternately, and a flange portion extending in a direction from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the rotating ring member towards the peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion of the stationary ring member so as to prevent grease from flowing out of an interior of the rolling bearing unit during rotation of the rotating ring member, and a sensor facing the tone wheel to detect the rotation of the rotating ring member.
