A bearing assembly which spaces bearing elements in an unequal relationship from one bearing element pocket to the next. The spacing minimizes the likelihood that the bearing elements will rest in the exact same location on an inner and outer race to reduce the potential for false brinelling. The net result is a decreased depth of false brinelling in any one location and an increased bearing life.

In a rolling bearing including a cage arranged in an annular space between an outer ring and an inner ring, a plurality of rolling elements held by the cage, and a solid lubricating agent provided in the cage, the cage has a plurality of rolling element receiving pockets in a circumferential direction, and has recess portions between the rolling element receiving pockets in a circumferential direction, and each of the rolling elements is received in each of the rolling element receiving pockets....

A bearing comprises a cage which is provided on a circumference of a rotary shaft to hold elements rotating in an oil. A guide unit is provided on the cage to feed the oil in an axial direction or a radial direction of the rotary shaft.

To provide a bearing device, which can be easily processed, and whereby, its durability is capable of being improved and a load (tractional force) can be remarkably increased till the burn-in occurs and a pin for the bearing device. The bearing device is provided with a bush and a pin to be inserted in this bush. When an external force is acting in a certain direction, the bush and the pin are relatively rocked, and a slidable range H is formed, in which an outer peripheral face of the pin and a...

A retainer for a ball bearing formed in a generally annular shape and having a plurality of pockets arranged in a circumferential direction, respectively, to rollably hold a plurality of balls along a pitch circle, respectively, the pockets each having an inner peripheral surface comprising a radially inner section which is located inward of the pitch circle of the balls in the radial direction of the retainer, and has an inner diameter larger than the diameter of the balls, such that the gap be...

A sliding bearing (1) includes an upper casing (3) which is made of polyacetal resin as a synthetic resin, has an annular surface (2), and serves as a first bearing body; a second bearing body (5) which is made of a synthetic resin, is superposed on the upper casing (3) so as to be rotatable about an axis (O), and has an synthetic resin-made annular surface (4) opposed to the annular surface (2); and a synthetic resin-made annular sheet (6) which is interposed between the annular surfaces (2) an...

The present invention provides a foil bearing (1), comprising: a stationary mount member (2) surrounding an outer circumferential surface of a journal (13) of a rotating member via an annular gap (G); and a plurality of centripetal force producing foils (e.g., middle foils 12) arranged in a circumferential direction in the annular gap, where each of the centripetal force producing foils has one end fixed to the stationary mount member, wherein portions of the stationary mount member located betw...

A rolling bearing includes: outer and inner rings, at lease one of which is made of a ceramics; a plurality of rolling elements interposed between the outer and inner rings; a seal groove, a sectional shape in an axial direction of which is formed by substantially a partial circular arc, and which is formed on a shoulder portion of a raceway of one of the outer and inner rings; and a resin seal member including a peripheral edge portion fitted to the seal groove.

An environment-friendly rolling bearing is proposed in which at least one of inner ring, outer ring, rolling elements, seals and retainer is formed of a biodegradable material.

A ball bearing comprises an inner ring, an outer ring and a plurality of balls disposed between inner and outer rings. The number of the balls is made to be not smaller than 10. Lubricant is also enclosed between the inner and outer rings in such a manner that the amount of the lubricant is regulated not more than 8% of the volume of a space between the inner and outer rings.
