The protective cover having a cup shape is mounted to an outer ring of a bearing so as to seal an inward-side end portion of the bearing. A protective cover includes: a disc part made of a synthetic resin; and a sensor holder part that is made of the synthetic resin and protrudes inward from the disc part. The disc part is provided with a separation wall which separates the magnetic encoder and the magnetic sensor from each other. The separation wall has a surface facing the magnetic encoder and a surface facing the magnetic sensor, and one of the surfaces has a mark of a gas drainage pin of an injection molding die.

Provided is a resin cage for a tapered roller bearing in which a mold parting line which is extended in an axial direction is formed in a pillar portion defining a pocket. On facing surfaces of adjacent pillar portions, on an outer diameter side from the mold parting line, a first conical surface which slides in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a tapered roller is formed, and a first flat surface in a radial direction is formed in a portion on the outer diameter side from the first conical surface. On an inner diameter side from the mold parting line, a second conical surface which slides in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the tapered roller is formed, and a second flat surface in a radial direction is formed in a portion on the inner diameter side from the second conical surface

A cage made of a resin includes: a small-diameter annular portion on one side in an axial direction; a large-diameter annular portion on the other side in the axial direction; and a plurality of column portions which link the small-diameter annular portion and the large-diameter annular portion to each other. Spaces which are formed between the large-diameter annular portion and the small-diameter annular portion and between the column portions adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction are pockets which hold the taper rollers. A surface of the entire cage including the small-diameter annular portion, the large-diameter annular portion, and all of the column portions is configured by aggregating a surface viewed from the one axial side and a surface viewed from the other axial side.

A rolling bearing retainer which is formed by insert molding a resinous material together with a core member within a mold, in which the core member is embedded within a resin part made of the resinous material and a support area exposure part is provided at a plurality of locations of the resin part for exposing a support area of the core member supported within a cavity of the mold. The resin part includes a ring shaped body and a plurality of support column bodies extending axially from the ring shaped body and defining a pocket for retaining a rolling element therebetween, and the core member is provided with a ring shaped body embedded part and a plurality of support column body embedded parts extending from the ring shaped body embedded part.

A taper roller bearing includes: an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of taper rollers in which a cavity portions are formed on a large end surface, and an annular cage. The cage includes a small-diameter annular portion on one axial side, a large-diameter annular portion which is positioned on the other axial side and on the outer side in the radial direction of the large flange, and a plurality of column portions. An outer diameter of an axial inner surface included in the large-diameter annular portion is greater than a diameter of a virtual circle that links outer end portions in the radial direction of the cavity portions of the plurality of taper rollers.

A bearing device for a beauty and health roller which presents no risk of bathwater or bathtub contamination, is hygienic, is less heavy than conventional ball bearings, is devoid of roller rattle, and exhibits a small rotational resistance of the rollers. The bearing device for a beauty and health roller is used in a beauty and health roller having a grippable body and a roller arranged at the end portion of the body, and rotatably supports the roller on a supporting shaft provided to the end portion of the body. The bearing device comprises a radial bearing 5 into which the supporting shaft is fitted and which rotatably supports the roller on the supporting shaft 2a.

A modular plain bearing is provided. The modular plain bearing includes a first end portion having a terminal edge with a plurality of first fingers and a second end portion having a terminal edge with a plurality of second fingers. The plurality of fingers cooperatively engage to provide a snap fit connection between the parts. For longer plain bearings, a bearing extender is provided. The bearing extender includes at least a first connector having a plurality of first connector fingers. The bearing extender may include either a second connector opposite the first connector having a plurality of second connector fingers.

A suspension thrust bearing device for use with a suspension spring in an automotive suspension strut of a vehicle. The device includes a bearing having upper and lower annular bearing members in relative rotation, the lower annular bearing member, and a damping element. An axial stiffening insert in a hub of lower annular bearing member provides a lower end curved towards the interior of the device. Lower annular bearing member has at least one slender groove opening radially outwards and having a bottom end opening axially downwards, the damping element providing a portion fitted within the slender groove.

A steering shaft assembly includes a male shaft having a plurality of teeth extending radially outwardly from a portion of the male shaft. The steering shaft assembly also includes a female shaft receiving a portion of the male shaft and fixed to the male shaft in a rotational direction, the male shaft axially moveable relative to the female shaft, the female shaft having an end portion and a body portion, wherein the end portion of the female shaft has an end wall thickness that is less than a body wall thickness of the body portion, the end portion curved radially inwardly to define a hard stop position during axial movement of the male shaft. An end of the plurality of teeth of the male shaft contact the curved end portion of the female shaft at the hard stop position.

The invention relates to a rolling element bearing cage formed of one or more segments, each segment comprising: a supporting frame having a plurality of spaced apart openings each for accommodating a rolling element; and a reinforcing frame, inserted within the supporting frame, having a corresponding plurality of openings each for aligning with the openings of the supporting frame.
