Publication number: 20230358277Abstract: A groove curvature radius ratio Ri of the inner ring raceway groove to a ball diameter is 54% to 58%, a groove curvature radius ratio Ro of an outer ring raceway groove of an outer ring to the ball diameter is 51% to 58%, and Ri?Ro?0 points. At least an inner ring raceway groove of an inner ring has a maximum surface pressure of 4.7 GPa to 6.0 GPa when a sum of permanent deformation amounts of the ball and the inner ring raceway groove at a center of a contact portion between a ball of an angular ball bearing and the inner ring raceway groove is 1/10,000 of the ball diameter. Accordingly, it is possible to provide the angular ball bearing that can reduce the heat generation amount, and that can reduce the damage caused by the external impact load in the stationary state.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2021Publication date: November 9, 2023Applicant: NSK LTD.Inventors: Shuji SOGA, Yoshiaki KATSUNO
