Abstract: The ball rolling surfaces 11 and 12 of the pocket 7 holding the ball 5 are set in the two spherical surfaces which have a radius larger than the one of the ball 5 and the centers of which are deflected at an equal space from the center of the pocket on the pitch circle of the pocket disposing, and on the inside portions from the edge 9a of the width direction of the pocket and the edge 9b of the height direction of the pocket the contact portions 14 and 15 where the rolling surfaces of the balls and the balls which are positioned at the displacing end contact to form the gaps 16 and 17 on the area determined from the contact portions 14 and 15 to the edge side and make the lubricant G entered through the gaps 16 and 17 into the ball rolling surfaces 11 and 12.

Abstract: Described is a bearing including an annular inner raceway formed directly on the outer periphery of a rotary shaft, a plurality of bearing balls held between the inner raceway and an outer raceway formed on the outer periphery of an outer ring, a retainer for retaining the balls in position and a tubular housing securely fitted to the outer ring. The bearing may be designed as the double row type by providing a pair of outer rings each having an inner raceway and a pair of outer raceways formed on the rotary shaft. The inner ring may be dispensed with so that the bearing may be simplified in design and improved in load withstand properties.
