摘要： The cage includes two interconnected members. Each member has a plurality of circumferentially spaced openings; the openings in one member aligned with and spaced from the openings in the other member to form pockets for rollers.A portion of each long side of the openings is adapted to retain the rollers. Each interconnected member has tongues adjacent the openings. The tongues extend toward the other member with the tongues on one interconnected member facing and circumferentially spaced from the tongues on the other interconnected member. The spacing between the tongues in each pocket is chosen so that the tongues act as guide surfaces for the rollers.

摘要： In the toroidal-type continuously variable transmission, the radial needle roller bearing includes a plurality of needle rollers, the two end portions of each of the needle rollers in the axial direction thereof are crowned, and the crowning amount is set such that, in the portion of the needle roller that is situated by 7-13% of the axial-direction length toward the axial-direction central portion of the needle roller from the axial-direction end face of the needle roller, the crowning amount is 0.1-0.4% of the outside diameter of the axial-direction central portion of the needle roller. Further, in the inner peripheral surface of the output-side disk, there are formed a fitting portion to be fitted outside with a member rotatable in conjunction with the output-side disk and an outer race raceway portion for the needle roller bearing, in the portion of the inner peripheral surface of the output-side disk that is situated near to the inside surface thereof, there is formed a residual compressive stress layer by shot peening, and the outer race raceway portion is ground so as to remove a portion of the residual compressive stress layer, to thereby form the outer race raceway portion as a smooth surface.
