Abstract: A vibration diagnosis device is configured to diagnose vibration of a diagnosis target on the basis of an input signal from outside. The vibration diagnosis device includes a vibration sensor configured to detect the vibration of the diagnosis target, a filtering unit configured to extract a prescribed wavelength band from a waveform of a signal detected by the vibration sensor, and an arithmetic processing unit configured to apply a frequency analysis to the filtered waveform, which is obtained by the filtering unit, to generate spectral data. When, on the basis of the input signal, the arithmetic processing unit does not generate the spectral data, the arithmetic processing unit calculates at least one fundamental vibration statistic from the waveform of the signal detected by the vibration sensor and diagnoses the presence/absence of an abnormality of the diagnosis target.

Abstract: A sensor unit is supported on a stationary ring which does not rotate even when it is in use, and the rotation of the rotary ring can be detected by a rotation detecting sensor held within the sensor unit. Within the sensor unit, besides the rotation detecting sensor, there are disposed other sensors such as a temperature sensor and a vibration sensor, thereby being able to detect the rotation speed and the rotation number of the wheel supported on the rotary ring, and the other car driving conditions.

Abstract: The pocket surface of a pocket with a ball stored therein has a pair of first pocket surfaces respectively formed inside a pair of pawls and a second pocket surface situated between the two first pocket surfaces. The second pocket surface is formed as a spherical-shaped concave surface having a radius of curvature the center of curvature of which is the rotation center of the ball in a no-load state. Each of the first pocket surfaces has a center of curvature shifted from the center of curvature of the second pocket surface toward the opposite side to the entrance (opening) of the pocket by an axially shifting quantity h1, and each of the first pocket surfaces is formed, starting from the present center of curvature, as a spherical-shaped concave surface with its radius of curvature set larger than the radius of curvature of the second pocket surface.

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.

Abstract: A rolling bearing in which the outer diameter of a first rolling element is different from that of a second rolling element. During the operation of the rolling bearing, the speeds of revolution of the first and second rolling elements are different from each other due to a difference in their outer diameter. The circumferential directions in which the first and second rolling elements move within pockets are opposite to each other, so that a cage is prevented from vibrating with respect to the first and second rolling elements.
