Abstract:
A vehicle wheel supporting rolling bearing unit includes a stationary side bearing ring member, a rotation side bearing ring member, and plural rolling elements. The rotation side bearing ring member is provided with a first acceleration sensor, a second acceleration sensor, and a third acceleration sensor which are fixed on a virtual plane orthogonal to a center axis of the rotation side bearing ring member. The first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor are arranged on a virtual line passing through a rotation center of the rotation side bearing ring member with a same distance from the rotation center while detection directions thereof are directed in a radial direction and are opposite to each other in the radial direction. The third acceleration sensor is arranged such that a detection direction thereof is non-parallel to the detection directions of the first acceleration sensor and the second acceleration sensor.
Abstract:
In order to implement a structure capable of improving the resolution of torque measurement while preventing the plastic deformation of a torsion bar (15), an input-side stopper (61) having an uneven shape (gear shape) in the circumferential direction is provided in a portion of an input-side rotating body (55) that includes an input shaft (13) and an input gear (7), and an output-side stopper (63) having an uneven shape (gear shape) in the circumferential direction is provided in a portion of an output-side rotating body (56) that includes an output shaft (14) and an output gear (8). The input-side stopper (61) and the output-side stopper (63) are combined so as to be engaged to be able to transmit torque only when the torsional angle within the elastic range of the torsion bar (15) reaches a predetermined amount.
