Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Each pocket of a cage have a cylindrical surface formed by a cylindrical shape having a center line extending in a radial direction, and a tapered surface contiguous with the cylindrical surface. A radial displacement of the cage is regulated by a contact of the ball with the tapered surface. In a state in which the ball is in contact with the tapered surface, an angle formed by an imaginary line extending through a contact point between the ball and the tapered surface and the center of the ball, and an imaginary perpendicular plane extending through the center of the ball and perpendicular to the radial direction, is larger than a friction angle defined by a friction coefficient at the contact point between the ball and the tapered surface.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A rolling bearing cage of a ball guided type, the cage comprising a plurality of pockets provided at given intervals in a circumferential direction to retain a plurality of balls respectively, wherein each pocket of the cage comprises a cylindrical surface formed by a cylindrical shape having a center line extending in a radial direction, and at least one tapered surface contiguous with the cylindrical surface on a radially inner side or a radially out…
