1. A bearing device comprising:

  • a shaft having one axial end formed into a cylindrical shape; and

    a rolling bearing fitted on the one axial end of said shaft, wherein said rolling bearing is so fixed on said shaft as to be prevented from coming out by rolling-caulking the one axial end of said shaft to bend it radially outward and by pushing the bent caulked portion onto the outer end face of an inner ring of said rolling bearing;

    wherein the region at the outer end face of said caulked portion from the bending start point to the outer circumferential edge is formed of a composite curve joining curved surfaces of at least two different radii of curvature; and

    wherein the radii of curvature of the individual curved surfaces of said composite curve are set to the larger value at the radially outer side.
