Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To minimize the rotating torque and to reduce the sliding contact friction between a roller large end surface and an inner ring collar part by providing a support ring for supporting a holder and guiding it in the circumferential direction, the support ring being fixed to an inner ring, and hollowing a roller. SOLUTION: A roller 5 is formed into an asymmetric barrel shape in which one end surface has a diameter larger than the other end surface. Each roller 5 is housed in the pocket of a comb-shaped holder 6 so that the bore side of a central axis (r) is inclined down, a major end surface 5a and a minor end surface 5b are guided by the collar part 2b of an inner ring 2 and by the annular part 6a of the holder 6, respectively, and the holder 6 is supported by a support ring 1 fixed to the inner ring 2. A through-hole 9 having the central axis (r) as the center is, formed on the roller 5, and opened to at least a part of the contact area between the collar part 2b and the major end surface 5a. Thus, the whole weight of the roller 5 can be reduced to attain a reduction in rotating torque. The through-hole 9 forms an oil passage to supply a lubricating oil to the slide contact part between the major end surface 5a and the collar part 2b by centrifugal force, so that the lubrication failure can be prevented.

In this type of bearing, the rollers (15) are generally formed solid. Therefore, under high-speed rotation, the weight of the rollers is heavy, so that the rotation torque may increase. In addition, since the rollers are pressed against the inner ring flange (12b) by centrifugal force, the contact surface pressure at the sliding contact portion between the large end surface of the rollers and the inner ring flange increases, which may cause poor lubrication due to oil film shortage. is there.
Any of these is not preferable because it causes a reduction in the rotational performance of the bearing.
