A bearing device mountable on a smaller bearing and allowing to be
automatically lubricated for a long period, comprising an inner ring and
an outer ring rotated relative to each other, cages and rolling elements
held by the cages which are disposed in an annular space between the
inner and outer rings, a seal ring disposed on both sides of the inner
and outer rings, and a unit body formed of a battery, a tank for storing
lubricant, and a pump sucking and discharging the lubricant from the tank
which is disposed between the outer ring and the inner ring detachably
from the seal ring, wherein the lubricant is discharged from the pump
into the annular space in which the rolling elements are disposed and the
discharged amount of the lubricant from the pump is controlled by a
sensor and a control circuit, and the unit body is formed detachable,
whereby a lubrication unit installed in the bearing can be made compact
and slim.
