A protective cover includes: a synthetic resin disc part having formed therein a separation wall which is thinner than other parts of the disc part and separates a magnetic encoder and a magnetic sensor from each other; and a synthetic resin sensor holder part protruding inward from the disc part. A gate mark caused by the injection molding is present n an outer peripheral surface of the disc part or an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical part continuous with the disc part, in the radially outer side of the separation wall. Since the gate is at the radially outer side, of the separation wall, which is near the separation wall, no charging end weld is generated on the separation wall when a molten synthetic resin material is injected from the gate into the cavity of the injection mold die and solidified in an injection molding step.

A supplemental turning function-equipped hub unit includes: a hub unit body including a hub bearing; and a unit support member configured to be mounted through a suspension device, the unit support member supporting the hub unit body through rotation-permitting support components at two upper and lower portions of the hub unit body such that the hub unit body is rotatable about a supplemental turning axis. A supplemental turning force receiving part is provided on a side part of the hub unit body, which part is configured to receive a force that causes the hub unit body to rotate about the supplemental turning axis.

A lubricatable ball spline device includes a ball spline shaft, a ball nut slidably sleeved on the ball spline shaft and having oil guide holes, a linear bearing unit mounted between the ball spline shaft and the ball nut, a bearing ring rotatably sleeved on the ball nut and having an oil supplying hole, a positioning portion disposed between the bearing ring and the ball nut, and an oil passage corresponding to the oil supplying hole. The oil supplying hole, the oil passage, an oil storage space of the positioning portion and any one of the oil guide holes cooperatively form a continuous oil path.

A turbine generator comprises an elongate member, a support structure, a turbine wheel and an electrical generator. The support structure comprises a shaft and support the elongate member for rotation about a rotation axis. The turbine wheel is attached to the elongate member. The electrical generator comprises a rotor and a stator, the rotor being attached to the elongate member and the stator being arranged around the elongate member. The elongate member is provided with a bore and the shaft extends through an end of the elongate member into the bore so as to support it for rotation about the rotation axis.

A hub bearing module for a lightweight suspension upright or knuckle of a vehicle, the hub bearing module including a wheel bearing and a bearing connection interface to the suspension upright or knuckle, the bearing connection interface being arranged coaxial with the rolling bearing and including a first sleeve element and a second sleeve element arranged radially outside the first sleeve element and including a composite, preferably BMC (Bulk Molding Compound) annular body having a radially inner lateral surface mechanically coupled to the first sleeve element and a radially outer lateral surface configured to mechanically and chemically couple with the suspension upright or knuckle.

A hub seal seals a gap between an outer race member and an inner race member of a hub bearing. The hub seal includes: an annular base; and a seal member attached to the base and including an annular elastic material. The seal member includes a side lip extending toward an outer side and an intermediate lip extending toward the outer side on an inner periphery side relative to the side lip. A sliding surface of the side lip that comes into contact to seal the gap between the outer race member and the inner race member is rougher than a sliding surface of the intermediate lip that comes into contact to seal the gap between the outer race member and the inner race member.

A protective cover includes: a synthetic resin disc part having formed therein a separation wall which is thinner than other parts of the disc part and separates a magnetic encoder and a magnetic sensor from each other; and a synthetic resin sensor holder part protruding inward from the disc part. A gate mark caused by the injection molding is present n an outer peripheral surface of the disc part or an outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical part continuous with the disc part, in the radially outer side of the separation wall. Since the gate is at the radially outer side, of the separation wall, which is near the separation wall, no charging end weld is generated on the separation wall when a molten synthetic resin material is injected from the gate into the cavity of the injection mold die and solidified in an injection molding step.

A protective cover (1) having a reliable sensor holder part (3B) that prevents reduction in air tightness and strength of a division wall (B) between a magnetic sensor (A) and a magnetic encoder (16). The protective cover (1) is press-fitted into an outer ring to seal one axial end portion of a bearing, and has the sensor holder part (3B) holding the magnetic sensor (A). In the protective cover (1), a disc-shaped member (3) has a thick part (6) formed as a flow path for preferentially charging a molten resin into a thin part for forming the division wall (B) in a cavity of a molding die for use in injection molding between a position corresponding to a gate of the molding die and the division wall (B).

The protective cover having a cup shape is mounted to an outer ring of a bearing so as to seal an inward-side end portion of the bearing. A protective cover includes: a disc part made of a synthetic resin; and a sensor holder part that is made of the synthetic resin and protrudes inward from the disc part. The disc part is provided with a separation wall which separates the magnetic encoder and the magnetic sensor from each other. The separation wall has a surface facing the magnetic encoder and a surface facing the magnetic sensor, and one of the surfaces has a mark of a gas drainage pin of an injection molding die.

A lubricatable ball screw device includes a ball screw shaft, a ball nut slidably sleeved on the ball screw shaft and having oil guide holes, a linear bearing unit mounted between the ball screw shaft and the ball nut, a bearing ring rotatably sleeved on the ball nut and having an oil supplying hole, a positioning portion disposed between the bearing ring and the ball nut, and an oil passage corresponding to the oil supplying hole. The oil supplying hole, the oil passage, an oil storage space of the positioning portion and any one of the oil guide holes cooperatively form a continuous oil path.
