  • Patent number: 8088230
    Abstract: A rolling apparatus including an external member having a raceway surface on an inner peripheral surface thereof, an internal member having a raceway surface on an outer peripheral surface thereof, and a plurality of rolling elements which are rotatably provided between the raceway surface of the external member and the raceway surface of the internal member. A surface of at least one of the internal member, the external member, and the rolling elements is subjected to carbonitriding or nitriding; an area percentage of a nitride containing Si and Mn is 1% or more and 20% or less; surface hardness is HV750 or more. When depth from the raceway surface or depth from a rolling surface of the rolling element is defined as Z and diameter of the rolling element is defined as d, hardness at Z=0.045 d is HV650 to 850, and hardness at Z=0.18 d is HV400 to 800.
    Type: Grant
