Abstract: A bearing in which the thickness of the bottom of at least one of the inner ring and the outer ring is 50% or more of the diameter of the balls. Further, the bearing includes an outer ring having an outer diameter of 65 mm or less and balls having a diameter of 4 mm or less and has a width dimension of 45% or less of the inner diameter dimension thereof wherein the pitch diameter of the balls is closer to the outer side of the bearing than to the center of the section of the bearing. The outer side of the outer raceway grooves is tapered, and the inner side of angularly arranged outer raceway grooves is positioned closer to the central axis of the bearing than to the outer side of the outer raceway grooves.

Abstract: A pulley support double row ball bearing is disclosed, which improves the seal performance of the seal rings and is able to maintain sufficient durability even under severe conditions. The ball bearing includes inner sections of the seal rings which overlap the end surfaces in an axial direction of the inner ring such that the width of the overlap in the axial direction is 30% or more than the diameter of the balls. Moreover, tip edges of first and second protrusions are formed on the inside surface of the seal lips and come in sliding contact with end surfaces of the inner ring. Furthermore, third protrusions come close to and face the corner sections of the inner ring to form labyrinth seals in those areas.

In order to enhance the lubrication of the rolling contact portions, and be able to miniaturize and lighten automobile auxiliary equipment incorporating a double row ball bearing 32a, while ensuring durability of the double row ball bearing 32a, in the present invention, a chamfer 49 is provided in a portion near both ends of the inner circumferential surface of an outer ring 40, so that grease can be easily filled to inside the inner space 47, and the amount of grease filled inside the inner space 47 is ensured. Moreover, a retainer 45 is provided with an offset radially inwards of the pitch circle of the balls 44 so that the grease filled inside the inner space 47 is effectively fed to the rolling contact portions.

Abstract: The radius of curvature r1, r2 of the cross-sectional shape of an inner ring raceway 11d is made smaller at a central portion 19 and larger at end portions 20. A contact ellipse at the end portions is made small by increasing the radius of curvature r2 of the end portions 20 to thereby secure an allowable moment load. In contrast with this, an angular gap is reduced by reducing the radius of curvature r1 of the central portion 19.

Abstract: In a rolling bearing including an inner race; an outer race; a plurality of rolling elements rollingly arranged between the inner race and the outer race; and a cage holding the rolling elements, the cage has an annular shape and a plurality of pockets which are formed at plural positions in a circumferential direction of the cage, in which each of the pockets has an opening peripheral portion which is curved to a direction of increasing a distance from a center of the rolling elements. The opening peripheral portion forms a chamfered face or a convex face. The rolling bearing can sufficiently ensure the lubrication of sliding contact portions between the cage and rolling elements so that vibrations and noises of the rolling bearing are lowered.
