Abstract
An annular member is mounted on an outer ring, and a sensor is fixed to the annular member. The annular member includes a fixing portion, and a cover portion. The sensor is fixed to the fixing portion by a bolt and a nut. The fixing portion is fixed to the cover portion by bolts. The cover portion is separate from the fixing portion, and therefore does not have an opening extending in a circumferential direction, and covers a magnet rotor fitted on an inner ring in the circumferential direction.
Claims5
A sensor-equipped rolling bearing apparatus comprising:
- a magnetic member mounted such that a magnetic field can alternately change in a circumferential direction of a rotating ring;
- and
- a sensor fixed to a stationary ring so as to detect the magnetic field of said magnetic member to thereby measure a rotational speed of said rotating ring,
- wherein said bearing apparatus includes an annular member through which, said sensor is fixed to said stationary ring,
- wherein said annular member includes a fixing portion to which said sensor is fixed, and a cover portion fitted on said stationary ring,
- wherein said fixing portion and said cover portion are separately formed and connected together,
- wherein said cover portion covers said magnetic member over an entire periphery thereof such that said magnetic member is not exposed to the exterior in an axial direction,
- wherein the annular member includes a cylindrical portion and an extension portion extending radially from an axially-outer end of the cylindrical portion toward the rotating ring,
- wherein the extension portion includes an abutment surface abutting against an end face of the stationary ring in a state that the cylindrical portion of the annular member is fitted to the stationary ring, and
- wherein a drain hole for discharging water is formed in the extension portion such that the abutment surface corresponding to the drain hole is removed.
