Patent number: 10048214Abstract: An inspection method of a rolling element includes the steps of: projecting an X-ray from a light source to a rolling element, detecting the X-ray passing through the rolling element by a detector, calculating data of the detected X-ray to form an image, and detecting a defect in the rolling element based on the image. At the step of projecting an X-ray, the light source rotates relatively around the rolling element while the X-ray is projected to an entire region of the rolling element facing the light source. At the step of forming an image, data of the X-ray for one circuit around the rolling element is calculated to generate the image.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2012Date of Patent: August 14, 2018Assignee: NTN CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka Tanaka, Katsutoshi Muramatsu, Hiroaki Suzuki, Daichi Ito, Masayuki Nozaki

Publication number: 20050047694Abstract: A ball bearing for use in a high-temperature, high-speed, light-load environment is proposed which includes inner and outer rings formed of heat-resistant bearing steel M50. A nitrided layer which is formed of a diffusion layer only is formed on each of the surfaces of the inner and outer rings where the raceways are formed. A chromium nitride film is further formed on the nitrided layer. The layer and film serves to prevent surface-starting peeling and smearing, thus prolonging the life of the bearing.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2004Publication date: March 3, 2005Inventors: Masayuki Nozaki, Takumi Fujita
