    摘要: An object of the invention is to provide a method of manufacturing a rolling element string wherein a smaller rolling element string can be manufactured easily at low cost, and a rolling element string being superior in tensile strength and flexural strength even after downsizing can be manufactured. The present invention to achieve the object is a method of manufacturing a rolling element string having a number of rolling elements (3;30) aligned and rollably retained at prescribed intervals, comprising a first step of forming a flat band shaped belt member (21) with a synthetic resin, a second step of forming retaining holes (20;31) aligned on said belt member (21) in a row for receiving the rolling elements (3;30) loosely, and a third step of aligning the rolling elements (3;30) within said retaining holes (20;31) and forming the spacer portions (22;32) between the respective adjacent retaining holes (20;31) by injection molding for retaining said rolling elements (3;30) with said rolling elements (3;30) used as cores, so that said rolling elements (3;30) are trapped within said retaining holes (20;31).
