    摘要: A retainer for a ball bearing includes two annular members that face each other in an axial direction thereof. The two annular members include opposed surfaces each having hemispherical pockets that are formed at positions in a circumferential direction of each of the two annular members and configured to receive balls. The opposed surfaces are snap-fitted to each other to couple together the two annular members. The hemispherical pockets each have an inner peripheral surface provided with ball contact and ball non-contact surfaces. The ball contact surface is formed at a central portion in a pocket circumferential direction and at least at a central portion in a pocket axial direction of the inner peripheral surface. The ball non-contact surface includes a recess recessed to an opposite side to a corresponding ball across the ball contact surface and is opened in at least one of pocket axial ends.

    摘要: A ball bearing with seals on both sides is provided which is configured such that the pressure in the bearing interior is less likely to drop when a belt guide ring cools after it has been formed by resin molding, thus preventing the inwardly extending lip of each rubber seal from being pressed against the inner side surface of the seal groove. The belt guide ring (21) is formed on the radially outer surface of an outer race (2) of the bearing. Seal fitting grooves (8) are formed on the radially inner surface of the outer race (2) at its respective end portions. A rubber seal (10) has its radially outer portion fitted in each seal fitting groove (8). The rubber seal (10) has an inwardly extending lip (12) formed at its radially inner portion and having its tip elastically kept in contact with an inner side surface of one of two seal grooves (9) formed on the radially inner surface of an inner race (3) of the bearing, thereby sealing the bearing interior, and having an inwardly extending lip (12) having a tip which is kept in elastic contact with an inner side surface (9a) of the corresponding seal groove (9), thereby sealing the bearing interior. The contact surface of the inwardly extending seal lip (12) which is in elastic contact with the inner side surface (9a) of the seal groove (9) is formed with a recess (18) extending a limited circumferential range of the contact surface and defining a minute gap in cooperation with the inner side surface (9a) of the seal groove (9). With this arrangement, when the temperature and thus the pressure in the bearing interior rises when the belt guide ring (21) is formed by resin molding, the pressure is released to the exterior of the bearing through the gap defined by the recess (18). The pressure in the bearing interior is thus kept constant when the guide ring cools down after resin molding. This prevents the inwardly extending lip (12) from being pressed hard against the inner side surface (9a) of the seal groove (9) of the inner race (3).
