Patent number: 9631672Abstract: A separator 8 including a solid lubricant is disposed between adjacent rolling elements 7. Relative movement of the adjacent rolling elements 7 and the separator 8 in a direction of separating apart in a circumferential direction is restricted by restricting members 10, and the restricting members 10 are disposed at plural locations in the circumferential direction. A minute gap ? is provided between the adjacent restricting members 10, to allow relative movement therebetween. This can provide a solid-lubrication rolling bearing capable of stably preventing rotational locking and unintended disassembling of the bearing for a long period.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Hisanori Aiga, Hiroki Manabe, Naoaki Tsuji, Takahiro Gotou, Yoshinori Ito, Fuminori Satoji

Patent number: 9512878Abstract: A weld line formed by injection molding of a sealing member is formed at a circumferential position out of deepest portions of axial grooves, which form thinned portions of the sealing member (optimally, in a region of a cylindrical surface between the axial grooves in a circumferential direction). Thus, the sealing member is prevented from being provided with parts having locally markedly low strength, and hence damage to be caused by press-fitting is prevented.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Kouyou Suzuki, Hiroshi Niwa, Fuminori Satoji, Kimihiko Bito, Yoshiharu Inazuka

Patent number: 8931175Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a bearing member having a highly accurate dynamic pressure generating portion stably at low cost. Dynamic pressure grooves (8a1) and (8a2) are formed as the dynamic pressure generating portions on an inner circumferential surface of the electroforming portion (10) by an electroforming process, and injection molding is performed by using a resin while inserting the electroforming portion (10), thereby forming a bearing member (8). A shaft member (2) is inserted into an inner circumference of the bearing member.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: NTN CorporationInventors: Natsuhiko Mori, Nobuyoshi Yamashita, Fuminori Satoji, Isao Komori, Toshiyuki Mizutani, Masafumi Okuma, Kenichi Mitani
