  • Publication number: 20240110595
    Abstract: A deep groove ball bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of balls, and a seal member. An axial cross-sectional width is smaller than a radial cross-sectional height, a thickness of the inner ring is greater than a thickness of the outer ring, and a pitch diameter of the ball is larger than a median diameter between an inner diameter of the inner ring and an outer diameter of the outer ring A radial dimension between an outer diameter of a shoulder portion of the inner ring and an inner diameter of the seal member is greater than the thickness of the outer ring. As a result, width and weight can be reduced, a load capacity can be secured, grease leakage can be prevented, and a service lifespan can be extended.

  • Patent number: 11767488
    Abstract: The rolling bearing of the present invention is lubricated with a lubricant composition which contains a fatty acid metal salt, a metal dithiocarbamate, a phosphorous-type additive, and a basic additive, and which has a total acid value of 3.7 mgKOH/g or more. The rolling bearing makes it possible to further improve anti-fretting performance, and to reduce a decrease in fretting resistance even when used under the circumstance that fluorine-type grease penetrates into the bearing using urea-type grease.

  • Publication number: 20160201726
    Abstract: In the rolling device of the present invention, a grease composition is enclosed which contains a base oil having a kinematic viscosity of 15 to 80 mm2/s at 40° C. and, as a thickener, a mixture of lithium 12-hydroxystearate and a lithium fatty acid having a carbon number of 6 to 12, and has a dropping point of 190 to 240° C. and a yield stress of 1.2 to 5 kPa. Accordingly, the torque is reduced and the acoustic life is improved.
