Abstract
There is provided a wheel bearing for rotatably mounting and supporting a wheel of a vehicle to a vehicle body. The wheel bearing includes a rotary element on which the wheel of the vehicle is mounted and which rotates together with the wheel; a non-rotary element mounted on a chassis component of the vehicle and fixed to the vehicle body; and one or more rolling elements provided between the rotary element and the non-rotary element and configured to rotatably support the rotary element relative to the non-rotary element. The rotary element includes a wheel mounting flange used for mounting the wheel, and a tone wheel or an encoder configured to measure a rotational speed of the wheel may be mounted on a vehicle-body-side end surface of the wheel mounting flange.
