Abstract: The present invention provides a rolling bearing which comprises a retainer that can be used without any deformation at high temperatures and fairly assembled to bearing and thus can be used under severe working conditions such as high temperature, high rotary speed and high load over an extended period of time. A novel rolling bearing is provided comprising a retainer made of a resin composition having a flexural modulus of at least 3,500 MPa at 180° C. and a heat-resistant temperature of at least 150° C.

Abstract: The pocket surface of a pocket with a ball stored therein has a pair of first pocket surfaces respectively formed inside a pair of pawls and a second pocket surface situated between the two first pocket surfaces. The second pocket surface is formed as a spherical-shaped concave surface having a radius of curvature the center of curvature of which is the rotation center of the ball in a no-load state. Each of the first pocket surfaces has a center of curvature shifted from the center of curvature of the second pocket surface toward the opposite side to the entrance (opening) of the pocket by an axially shifting quantity h1, and each of the first pocket surfaces is formed, starting from the present center of curvature, as a spherical-shaped concave surface with its radius of curvature set larger than the radius of curvature of the second pocket surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides a seal for rolling bearings having improved sealing properties, undergoing no separation between a core and a peripheral portion nor deformation even in long-term use. The seal comprises a flexible resin portion which comes into contact with an outer race and a rigid resin portion which is more rigid than the flexible resin portion, the rigid resin portion and the flexible resin portion being fusion bonded together into an integral body.

Abstract: In a rolling bearing including an inner race; an outer race; a plurality of rolling elements rollingly arranged between the inner race and the outer race; and a cage holding the rolling elements, the cage has an annular shape and a plurality of pockets which are formed at plural positions in a circumferential direction of the cage, in which each of the pockets has an opening peripheral portion which is curved to a direction of increasing a distance from a center of the rolling elements. The opening peripheral portion forms a chamfered face or a convex face. The rolling bearing can sufficiently ensure the lubrication of sliding contact portions between the cage and rolling elements so that vibrations and noises of the rolling bearing are lowered.

Abstract: An anti-electrolytic corrosion rolling bearing having at least an outer race, an inner race, and rolling elements interposed between the outer and inner races, which has an insulating body on at least one of the outer peripheral surface of the outer race, the inner peripheral surface of the inner race, and the side surfaces of the outer race and inner race, said insulating body being composed of an insulating film or insulating member each containing at least one of a thermoplastic synthetic resin, a rubber, and a thermoplastic elastomer as a base material and having a resistivity of not less than 1.times.10.sup.13 .OMEGA..multidot.cm and a thermal conductivity of not less than 0.5 W/m.multidot.K.

Abstract: To provide a ball bearing that insures reasonable endurance and which reduces the necessary torque for rotation while causing less fluctuations in torque, a synthetic resin cage of the ball bearing for retaining a plurality of balls so as to roll freely is impregnated with a lubricating oil having a viscosity of 10 to 150 mm.sup.2 /s at 40.degree. C. in an amount of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of the cage, a film of the lubricating oil is formed in a thickness of 0.03 to 20 .mu.m on the surfaces of an inner race, an outer race, balls and the cage, and the amounts of the oiliness agent and the rust inhibitor that are to be contained in the lubricating oils are limited to the specified ranges.
