  • Patent number: 7530743
    Abstract: A cylindrical roller bearing with synthetic resin cages, in which heat generation of the bearing during high speed rotation is suppressed, while sufficient rigidity and strength is secured, so that the bearing is excellent in high speed performance. The cylindrical roller bearing (10) has synthetic resin cages (20) each including an annular portion (21) disposed in one axial end portion of the cage (20), and a plurality of columnar portions (25) extending from a side surface of the annular portion (21). The minimum inner diameter d1 of the annular portion (21) is set to be smaller than the maximum inner diameter d2 of each columnar portion (25), and the inner diameter of the columnar portion (25) is set to be equal to the inner diameter d1 of the annular portion (21) over a range of length not longer than ? of the whole length of the columnar portion (25).

  • Patent number: 6742934
    Abstract: A rolling bearing includes an inner ring having an outer surface, an outer ring having an inner surface, a plurality of rolling elements rotatably disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a retainer for retaining the rolling elements. The retainer is made of a resin material and is positioned with respect to the inner surface of the outer ring or the outer surface of the inner ring. The retainer includes a pair of annular portions axially arranged in parallel and a columnar portion coupling the annular portions. Then, the rolling bearing satisfies the following expression: AI=LH3/dm≧0.025 in which H is a radial length of a section of the annular portion, L is an axial length of the same, and dm is PCD of the rolling element.
