Patent number: 10458467Abstract: In a cross roller bearing, an outer ring and an inner ring have respective mounting portions formed thereon in such a manner as to reduce the radial thickness of the bearing to thereby reduce weight. The cross roller bearing has rollers and separators disposed in a load-carrying race formed between the outer ring and the inner ring. The outer ring and the inner ring have the respective mounting portions located axially away from respective raceway surfaces. The outer circumferential surface of the outer ring and the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring are flat. The mounting portion of the outer ring does not radially protrude from the inner circumferential surface of the inner ring, and the mounting portion of the inner ring does not radially protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the outer ring.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2018Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: NIPPON THOMPSON CO., LTD.Inventors: Tsuguyoshi Nara, Satoshi Sasaki, Masashi Matsui, Ryota Nakanishi
