Patent ID: 7464469

Claim:
A manufacturing method of a bearing unit for rotatably supporting a vehicle wheel and a rotating member for braking on a suspension, which comprises an outer race not rotatable during use, a hub rotating on an inner diameter side of the outer race, and a plurality of rolling elements; the outer race having an inner peripheral surface formed with a double row of outer-race tracks and supported by the suspension; the hub comprising a hub body and an inner race; the hub body provided with a rotating flange formed around an outer peripheral surface of an outer end thereof, so as to support the vehicle wheel and the rotating member for braking, and having screw holes for fastening the vehicle wheel and the rotating member for braking, a first inner-race track formed directly around the outer peripheral surface in a middle section of the hub body to face the first outer-race track on an outer side of the outer-race tracks, and a cylindrical positioning portion formed on an outer end surface of the hub body, and around which an inner peripheral edge of the rotating member for braking is fitted; the inner race provided with a second inner-race track formed on an outer peripheral surface thereof to face a second outer-race track on an inner side of the outer-race tracks, and being fitted around an inner end section of the hub body; and the rolling elements rotatably located between the each of the outer-race tracks and each of the inner-race tracks, comprising: assembling the bearing unit for a vehicle wheel, and then finishing the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical positioning portion, such that the runout in the radial direction at least in the part of the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical positioning portion onto which the rotating member for braking is fitted, is controlled.
