摘要:
A combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) is of a type having a capability of detecting a point of origin and includes a rolling bearing unit (6) and a rotation sensor unit (31). The rolling bearing unit (6) is made up of a rotatable raceway member (4), a stationary raceway member (5) and at least one row of rolling elements (3). The rotation sensor unit (31) includes a to-be-detected member (8) having a magnet and fitted to one of the raceway members (4, 5), and a magnetic detecting member (9) fitted to the other raceway member (4, 5) at a location confronting the to-be-detected member (8). This combined sensor and bearing assembly (1) is used at a location close to an electromagnetic coil (17) emanating a leakage magnetic field, in a condition in which a direction of flow of an electric current through the electromagnetic coil (17) is fixed in one direction so that a direction of a magnetic flux, with which the magnetic detecting member (9) is switched off, may coincide with a direction of the leakage magnetic flux.

The bearing assembly includes a rolling bearing including a rotatable raceway member and a stationary raceway member. This bearing assembly also includes a to-be-detected member carried by the raceway member and having a magnetic characteristic which cyclically varies in a direction circumferentially of the to-be-detected element and has a cycle matching with one complete rotation of the raceway member, a magnetic sensor unit carried by the raceway member in face-to-face relation with the to-be-detected member, and a magnetic detecting circuit to supply an electric power to the unit and to process an output signal from the unit to provide an output to an external circuit. The magnetic characteristic of the to-be-detected member represents a substantially sinusoidal waveform rising and falling more steeply than a sinusoidal waveform at a zero-crossing point.

A sensor-incorporated wheel support bearing assembly includes a stationary outer member having a plurality of raceway grooves defined in an inner peripheral surface thereof, an inner member made up of a rotatable hub axle and an inner race segment mounted on an inboard end portion of the hub axle with a vehicle wheel being supported by the hub axle. The inner member has a corresponding number of raceway grooves defined in the hub axle and the inner race segment, respectively. Rows of rolling elements are interposed between the outer member 1 and the inner member. A to-be-detected member in the form of a magnetostrictive element is formed in a portion of the outer periphery of the hub axle adjacent an inboard side and remote from the raceway groove. At least one force detecting unit for detecting a change in magnetic strain induced in the to-be-detected member is provided in an outer race, which is a non-rotatable member, for detecting a force acting on a shaft coupled with the inner member.

To minimize change in duty ratio of an output signal brought about by a leakage flux and to obtain a sensor output stabilized even under an environment of use abundant of the leakage fluxes, a sensor-equipped bearing assembly 31 includes a rotatable race member 32 provided with a to-be-detected portion 1 having a magnetic characteristic in which N and S magnetic poles alternate with each other. In face-to-face relation with this to-be-detected portion 1, a magnetic detecting portion 2 is secured to a stationary race member 33. The magnetic detecting portion 2 is made up of magnetic sensors arranged in a direction circumferentially of the race members 32, 33 and each capable of providing an analog output. A differential output generating means 7 is provided for processing a differential output of the adjoining two magnetic sensors 2a and 2b as an encoder signal for one phase.

A wheel support bearing assembly comprises a stationary outer member and a rotatable inner member. The to-be-detected parts of angle detection sensors are fixed to the inner member and an outer race of a constant velocity joint connected to the inner member, respectively. Detecting parts of the angle detection sensors are fixed to the outer member in face-to-face relation with the to-be-detected parts. The bearing assembly also includes a load conversion unit detecting a relative angular difference between the inner member and the constant velocity universal joint by comparing the detection signals from the detecting parts to detect the load acting on the bearing assembly.
