Abstract: A sealing device includes a bottom of an axial concave portion in a surface of an elastic member forming a radial lip, facing away from a flange portion in an axial direction overlaps an end face of a radially-extending portion of a core metal member, facing a tubular portion, in a radial direction. A bottom of a radial concave portion of the elastic member forming the radial lip, facing the tubular portion of a slinger is spaced from the end face of the core metal member toward a flange portion in the axial direction.

A sealing device includes a first member 1, a second member 2 moving relative to the first member, and an elastic member 3 fixed to the first member 1 and sliding against the second member 2, and is characterized in that: the elastic member 3 is made of a rubber composition containing a metal soap, an organic acid amide and an oil-containing particle.

Abstract: Prior to assembly of an elastic member (51) to a slinger (52), a radially inner surface (58) of a first portion (56) is formed in a concave shape, and a radially inner surface (59) of a second portion (57) is formed in a conical shape. The second axial lip (55) is adapted such that, after the elastic member (51) is assembled to the slinger (52) and when a second axial lip (55) is in a not-yet-worn state, the second axial lip (55) does not come into contact with a fixation section (65) of the slinger (52).

The elastic member is formed such that in an axial cross-section, the distance between a cylindrical portion-opposing surface of the elastic member radially opposed to the cylindrical portion and the cylindrical portion is increasing generally uniformly axially outward.

Abstract: A roller bearing cage is made of a resin and has a tapered tubular shape as a whole. In the roller bearing cage, tapered rollers are forcibly fitted to pockets while elastically deforming pillar portions at a small-diameter annular portion side. A stress alleviating portion is provided on at least an outer circumferential side of an end of the pillar portion at the small-diameter annular portion side so that a portion of the pillar portion from a crossing portion between the pillar portion and the small-diameter annular portion to a side of the large-diameter annular portion is linearly cut, thereby alleviating the stress occurring in the pillar portion when the tapered roller is forcibly fitted to the pocket.

Abstract: In a magneto-optical recording medium, a first magnetic layer is made of a material using a Gd—Fe film or a Gd—Fe—Co film as a base so that a magnetic field normalized based on saturation magnetization of a magnetic domain wall driving field can be smaller than 1. A second magnetic layer is made of a material using a Tb—Fe film or a Dy—Fe film as a base, to which a nonmagnetic element such as Al or Cr, and Co are added. A third magnetic layer is made of a material using a Tb—Fe—Co film or a Dy—Fe—Co film as a base, and an element concentration ratio (at. % ratio) of Tb or Dy to Fe—Co is set in a range of 24.5?Tb?26.5 or 26.5?Dy?29.5. Addition amounts of Co and a nonmagnetic element to each magnetic layer are adjusted to set Curie temperatures Tc11, Tc12, and Tc13 of the first, second and third magnetic layers to Tc13>Tc11>Tc12.

Abstract: Magneto-optic recording medium has at least a 1st magnetic layer for recording information signals, a 2nd magnetic layer formed on the 1st magnetic layer and a 3rd magnetic layer formed on the 2nd magnetic layer. The 1st and 3rd magnetic layers are made of a first amorphous material of rare earth and 3d transition metal having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to a surface thereof, respectively. The 2nd magnetic layer is interposed between the 1st and 2nd magnetic layers as an intermediate layer. The 2nd magnetic layer is made of a second amorphous material of rare earth metal and 3d transition metal with rare earth metal rich (RE-rich) having a smaller exchange energy between the rare earth metal and a 3d transition metal than that of Gd--Fe or Gd--Fe--Co and having magnetic anisotropy in a direction parallel to a surface of the 2nd magnetic layer, wherein the 1st and the 3rd magnetic layers are magnetically coupled through the 2nd magnetic layer.
