Abstract: A noise due to contact of a cage of an angular contact ball bearing to an outer ring to be outer ring guided is reduced. The angular contact ball bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of balls, and a cage. The cage includes a plurality of pockets for accommodating the balls arranged at circumferential intervals and the rotation of the cage is guided by the outer ring or the inner ring, which serves as a guide ring. The pocket is provided at an inner surface thereof with an engaging portion which projects into the pocket. The engaging portion engages with the ball in the pocket when the cage is moved in a radial direction prior to contact of the cage to the guide ring.
