According to the bearing device for an axle of the present invention, the deepest portion is formed on the outer periphery of the flange of the hub wheel on the chord connecting the centers of the bolt through holes adjacent on the inner diameter side of the pitch circle diameter of the bolt through holes. Since the notch parts that are close to each other are formed, it is possible to perform bolting work smoothly without being hindered by the hub wheel, and by forming the notch parts,
The hub wheel can be made lighter and smaller.

Further, since the notch is formed between the bolt insertion holes in the flange of the hub wheel while avoiding the periphery of the bolt insertion hole, when the flange of the hub wheel is bolted to the disc rotor of the disc brake device. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contact area with the disk rotor from increasing and the runout accuracy of the disk rotor from decreasing.

Furthermore, the hub wheel can be made lighter by reducing the wall thickness in the vicinity of the outer periphery of each bolt insertion hole of the flange of the hub wheel. Moreover, since the wall thickness on the inner peripheral side including each bolt insertion hole except for the vicinity of the outer periphery of each bolt insertion hole is not thinned, it is possible to prevent the bending rigidity of the flange from decreasing while reducing the weight. can get.
