摘要:
It is an object of the invention to provide a needle bearing which can prevent occurrence of flake and seizure in the bearing parts even under such severe lubricating condition as provided by a compressor for a car air conditioner or a planetary unit for an automatic transmission. The needle bearing is structured by barrel grinding the raceway surface of a ring and the surface of a rolling body without using a ceramic-related abrasive such as alumina or silicon carbide.

A loading cam apparatus for a toroidal type continuously variable transmission includes: a first cam surface formed to have concave and convex portions thereon along a circumferential direction thereo, a second cam surface formed to have concave and convex portions thereon along a circumferential direction thereof and to oppose to the first cam surface along an axial direction thereof, a plurality of rolling elements sandwiched between the first cam surface and the second cam surface, and a retainer for holding the plurality of rolling elements in a freely rotatable state. The retainer includes a retainer main body of a circular annular shape, and pockets provided at outer periphery portions of the retainer main body for holding the plurality of rolling elements, respectively. The retainer main body is formed by carbonitriding material of iron system with a carbon concentration in a range from 0.02 to 0.20 wt % both inclusive.

The ball spline for use in a troidal-type continuously variable transmission comprises a plurality of spline grooves and a plurality of balls which are arranged in series within spline gaps each constituted by a set of mutually opposing spline grooves, in which, while allowing the movement of the input disc in the direction of an input shaft by means of contact between the spline gaps and balls, the input shaft and input disc can be drivingly connected to each other. In the ball spline, the number of spline gaps is set different from integral multiples of the number of power rollers which are held by and between the input and output discs in contact with the two discs in order to transmit a rotation torque between the input and output discs. Further, each of the spline grooves includes inner and outer peripheral surface side spline grooves, and the shape of each of the sections of the two inner and outer peripheral surface side spline grooves respectively forming the ball spline is formed as a Gothic arch shape. And, the radius of curvature of the section of the groove bottom portion arc surface forming the groove bottom portion of each of the spline grooves is set more than or equal to 15% of the diameter of the ball. Also, the outer peripheral surface side chamfers of the outer peripheral surface side spline groove are set smaller to thereby be able to secure the effective grinding surface of the outer peripheral surface side spline groove.
