Description

本発明は、転がり軸受用の合成樹脂製保持器及びその製造方法に関し、より詳細にはウエルド部の強度低下を防止する技術に関する。また、本発明は、前記合成樹脂製保持器を備える転がり軸受に関する。   The present invention relates to a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a technique for preventing a decrease in strength of a weld portion. The present invention also relates to a rolling bearing comprising the synthetic resin cage.

工作機械用主軸スピンドル用軸受においては、工作精度向上のために振動や音響等の特性が良好であることが求められているが、近年においては更に加工効率向上のため高速回転性(高回転速度で長時間安定して使用できること)が求められていきている。そのため、このような特性を満たすために、軽量で柔軟性に優れる合成樹脂製保持器が使用されることが多くなっている。   Bearings for spindle spindles for machine tools are required to have good characteristics such as vibration and sound in order to improve machine accuracy. However, in recent years, high-speed rotation (high rotation speed) is required to further improve machining efficiency. And can be used stably for a long time). Therefore, in order to satisfy such characteristics, a synthetic resin cage that is lightweight and excellent in flexibility is often used.

この合成樹脂製保持器は射出成形法で製造されており、1ないし複数のゲートから熱可塑性樹脂、もしくは熱可塑性樹脂に補強繊維材を配合した樹脂組成物の溶融物を金型に注入し、冷却固化させて得られる。しかし、軸受用の保持器は円環状であるため、ゲートから注入された溶融物は金型内で分流され、ある地点(例えばゲートと対向する位置)で合流してウエルド部が必ず生じる。このウエルド部は、溶融物が融着一体化しただけであるため、溶融物の均一な混合が起こらず、他の部位よりも強度が低くなる。特に、補強繊維材を配合した樹脂組成物を用いた場合は、ウエルド部において補強繊維材が流動方向に対し垂直に配向するため、補強効果が発現しないばかりでなく、他の部位では補強繊維材が流動方向に対し水平に配向しているため、ウエルド部と他の部位との強度差がより大きくなる。   This synthetic resin cage is manufactured by an injection molding method. A thermoplastic resin, or a melt of a resin composition in which a reinforcing fiber material is blended with a thermoplastic resin, is injected into a mold from one or more gates. Obtained by cooling and solidifying. However, since the cage for bearings has an annular shape, the melt injected from the gate is diverted in the mold and merges at a certain point (for example, a position facing the gate), so that a weld portion is always generated. Since the melt is merely fused and integrated in the weld portion, the melt is not uniformly mixed, and the strength is lower than other portions. In particular, when a resin composition containing a reinforcing fiber material is used, the reinforcing fiber material is oriented perpendicular to the flow direction in the weld portion, so that the reinforcing effect is not exhibited, and the reinforcing fiber material is used in other parts. Is oriented horizontally with respect to the flow direction, the difference in strength between the weld and other parts becomes larger.

ウエルド部を発生しないように、金型の保持器のポケットに対応する部分の内径側もしくは外径側に流路を設け、この流路を通じて溶融物をゲートからポケットを境にしたゲートの反対側まで円滑に注入してウエルド部の発生箇所を低減することが提案されている(特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、この方法においてもウエルド部の発生箇所は低減するものの、発生したウエルド部の強化は改善されることがない。また、成形後に保持器の内径部または外径部に設けた流路を削り取る必要があり、製造工程の増加に伴うコスト増を招いている。   A flow path is provided on the inner diameter side or outer diameter side of the part corresponding to the pocket of the mold cage so as not to generate a weld part, and the melt flows through the flow path on the opposite side of the gate from the gate to the pocket. It has been proposed to reduce the number of occurrences of welds by smoothly injecting (see Patent Document 1). However, this method also reduces the occurrence of welds, but does not improve the strengthening of the generated welds. Further, it is necessary to scrape the flow path provided in the inner diameter portion or the outer diameter portion of the cage after molding, resulting in an increase in cost due to an increase in manufacturing steps.

ウエルド部の強化方法として、開閉バルブを設けたゲートから溶融樹脂を注入した後、開閉バルブを操作して充填圧力に差を持たせることによりウエルド部を移動させ、それによりウエルド部での溶融樹脂、あるいは補強材の流動を強制的に乱して樹脂や補強材の混合状態を高めることも提案されている(特許文献2参照)。しかし、この方法では、金型構造が複雑なため、金型が高価になるという問題がある。   As a method of strengthening the weld portion, after injecting molten resin from the gate provided with the opening / closing valve, the welding portion is moved by operating the opening / closing valve to give a difference in the filling pressure, and thereby the molten resin at the weld portion. Alternatively, it has been proposed to forcibly disturb the flow of the reinforcing material to increase the mixed state of the resin and the reinforcing material (see Patent Document 2). However, this method has a problem that the mold is expensive because the mold structure is complicated.

また、ウエルド部の強化方法として、金型のウエルド部の発生部位(ウエルド位置)の近傍に樹脂溜まりを設け、その樹脂溜まりの径を、射出された溶融物がキャビティ内に充填されウエルド部を形成した後に、樹脂溜まりに充填されるような大きさに規定することにより、この樹脂溜まりに溶融物が流れ込んでウエルド部における圧力均衡が崩れ、それによりウエルド部が移動して溶融樹脂、あるいは補強材が流動し、樹脂や補強材の混合状態を高めることも提案されている(特許文献3、4参照)。しかし、この方法では、金型に設けた樹脂溜まりが、ウエルド位置と一致していないため、溶融物の撹乱が必ずしも十分とは言えず、近年の高速回転下で使用される軸受用の保持器として、ウエルド部の補強効果が十分ではなくなりつつある。   Further, as a method for strengthening the weld portion, a resin reservoir is provided in the vicinity of the generation site (weld position) of the weld portion of the mold, and the diameter of the resin reservoir is set so that the injected melt is filled into the cavity and the weld portion is After the formation, the size is determined such that the resin is filled into the resin reservoir, so that the melt flows into the resin reservoir and the pressure balance in the weld portion is lost. It has also been proposed that the material flows and enhances the mixed state of the resin and the reinforcing material (see Patent Documents 3 and 4). However, in this method, since the resin reservoir provided in the mold does not coincide with the weld position, the molten material is not necessarily sufficiently disturbed, and the bearing retainer used under high-speed rotation in recent years. As a result, the reinforcing effect of the weld portion is becoming insufficient.

本発明はこのような状況に鑑みてなされたものであり、従来よりもウエルド部の強度を高めた合成樹脂製保持器、並びに耐久性に優れる転がり軸受を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a situation, and an object of the present invention is to provide a synthetic resin cage in which the strength of the weld portion is higher than that of the conventional one and a rolling bearing having excellent durability.

上記の目的を達成するために本発明は、キャビティのウエルド位置に一致する位置に設けられた開口に通じる第1の樹脂溜まりと、前記第1の樹脂溜まりに近接して該キャビティに設けられた開口に通じる第2の樹脂溜まりとを備える保持器成形用金型を用い、保持器成形用樹脂組成物を射出成形する転がり軸受用の合成樹脂製保持器の製造方法であって、前記保持器成形用金型において、前記第2の樹脂溜まりの開口と、前記第1の樹脂溜まりの開口との離間距離が、保持器のポケットの最大幅以内であることを特徴とする合成樹脂製保持器の製造方法、並びに前記製造方法により得られる合成樹脂製保持器を備える転がり軸受を提供する。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first resin reservoir that leads to an opening provided at a position that coincides with the weld position of the cavity, and is provided in the cavity adjacent to the first resin reservoir. A method of manufacturing a synthetic resin cage for a rolling bearing that uses a cage molding die provided with a second resin reservoir leading to an opening and injection-molds the cage molding resin composition , the cage In the molding die, the distance between the opening of the second resin reservoir and the opening of the first resin reservoir is within the maximum width of the pocket of the cage, and the synthetic resin cage manufacturing process, as well as Bei obtain rolling bearing synthetic resin cage obtained by the method for producing.

本発明では、キャビティのウエルド位置に一致する位置に設けられた第1の樹脂溜まりと、第1の樹脂溜まりから保持器のポケットの最大幅以内に設けた第2の樹脂溜まりとを備える保持器成形用金型を用いる。そのため、ゲートからキャビティ内に注入された溶融物は、第1の樹脂溜まりに流れ込み、ウエルド部近傍において強制的に流動されるとともに、第2の樹脂溜まりで更に流動される。従って、従来のように、ウエルド位置に一致していない単一の樹脂溜まりを備える保持器成形用金型を用いた場合に比べて、ウエルド部における増強効果が高まり、耐久性や信頼性に優れる合成樹脂製保持器が得られる。換言すれば、保持器の肉厚を薄くすることができ、保持器の軽量化及び原料コストを低減することができる。また、肉厚を薄くした分、転動体のサイズを大きくすることもでき、軸受の定格荷重を上げることができ、軸受の長寿命化を図ることもできる。更には、このような合成樹脂製保持器を備える転がり軸受もまた耐久性に優れたものとなる。 According to the present invention, a cage comprising a first resin reservoir provided at a position corresponding to the weld position of the cavity, and a second resin reservoir provided within the maximum width of the cage pocket from the first resin reservoir. A molding die is used. Therefore, the melt injected from the gate into the cavity flows into the first resin reservoir, forcibly flows in the vicinity of the weld, and further flows in the second resin reservoir. Therefore, as compared with the conventional case where a cage molding die having a single resin reservoir that does not match the weld position is used, the enhancement effect at the weld portion is increased, and the durability and reliability are excellent. A synthetic resin cage is obtained. In other words, the thickness of the cage can be reduced, and the weight of the cage and the raw material cost can be reduced. Further, the size of the rolling element can be increased by reducing the wall thickness, the rated load of the bearing can be increased, and the life of the bearing can be extended. Furthermore, the rolling bearing provided with such a synthetic resin cage is also excellent in durability.

以下、本発明に関して図面を参照して詳細に説明する。   Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

図1は本発明に係る合成樹脂製保持器の一例である冠型保持器1を示す斜視図であるが、円環状の基部10の一方の側に、柱部11が等間隔で立設しており、隣接する一対の柱部11,11により、転動体(図示せず)を保持するためのポケット12が形成されている。   FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a crown-type cage 1 which is an example of a synthetic resin cage according to the present invention, and column portions 11 are erected at equal intervals on one side of an annular base portion 10. A pocket 12 for holding a rolling element (not shown) is formed by a pair of adjacent pillars 11 and 11.

尚、保持器材料には、例えばポリアミドやポリフェニレンサルファイド樹脂、ポリイミド樹脂、ポリエーテルエーテルケトン樹脂、あるいはこれら樹脂にガラス繊維や炭素繊維、チタン酸カリウムウィスカー等の繊維状補強材を配合した樹脂組成物が用いられる。繊維状補強材の含有量は、樹脂組成物全量の40質量%以下が好ましく、これより多量になると樹脂量が少なすぎて成形の際の流動性が十分ではなく、後述する樹脂溜まりに流入し難くなり、ウエルド部の発生を抑制する効果が十分に得られない。また、成形時及び使用時の熱劣化を抑えるために、ヨウ化物系熱安定剤やアミン系熱安定剤を単独で、あるいは両方を添加してもよい。更に、耐衝撃性を改善するために、エチレンプロピレン非役ジエンゴム(EPDM)等のゴム系材料を配合してもよい。   The cage material includes, for example, polyamide, polyphenylene sulfide resin, polyimide resin, polyether ether ketone resin, or a resin composition in which a fibrous reinforcing material such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, or potassium titanate whisker is blended with these resins. Is used. The content of the fibrous reinforcing material is preferably 40% by mass or less based on the total amount of the resin composition. If the amount is larger than this, the amount of resin is too small and the fluidity at the time of molding is not sufficient, and flows into a resin reservoir described later. It becomes difficult and the effect of suppressing the generation of the weld portion cannot be sufficiently obtained. Moreover, in order to suppress the thermal deterioration at the time of shaping | molding and use, you may add an iodide type | system | group heat stabilizer and an amine heat stabilizer independently, or both. Furthermore, in order to improve impact resistance, rubber-based materials such as ethylene propylene non-diene rubber (EPDM) may be blended.

この冠型保持器1は射出成形により製造されるが、本発明では図2に示すような金型100を用いる。尚、図2は保持器成形用金型100のキャビティ110を上方から見た図であり、簡単のために冠型保持器1の柱部11及びポケット12に相当する部分は省略してある。また、ゲート120を単一にしてある。   The crown type cage 1 is manufactured by injection molding. In the present invention, a mold 100 as shown in FIG. 2 is used. Note that FIG. 2 is a view of the cavity 110 of the cage molding die 100 as viewed from above, and portions corresponding to the column portions 11 and the pockets 12 of the crown type cage 1 are omitted for simplicity. The gate 120 is single.

金型100において、ゲート120からキャビティ110内に、保持器材料である樹脂組成物の溶融物が注入されると、通常は、図示されるように左右に分かれて流動してゲート120と対向する位置にて合流して、得られる保持器1の基部10や柱部11には前記の合流位置にてウエルド部が生じる。以下、ウエルド部が生じる位置を仮想線Wで示し、ウエルド位置Wとする。そこで本発明では、金型100のキャビティ110のウエルド位置Wに一致する位置に設けた開口130aを通じて第1の樹脂溜まり130を形成し、更にこの第1の樹脂溜まり130の近傍に開口140aを通じて第2の樹脂溜まり140を形成する。これにより、溶融物は、キャビティ110の全体を充填した後、第1の樹脂溜まり130に流入し、その際ウエルド位置Wの近傍で溶融物の流動状態が大きく乱れ、従来のウエルド部のような明確な境界が形成されなくなる。また、繊維状補強材を含有する場合は、繊維状補強材もランダムに配向する。更に、射出圧または保圧により、溶融物は第2の樹脂溜まり140にも流入するため、第1の樹脂溜まり130による流動性の乱れに加え、ウエルド部相当部分が全体的に第2の樹脂溜まり140の側に移動し、更なる流動が起こる。このように、ウエルド位置Wの近傍において溶融物の流動状態がより激しく乱れ、結果としてウエルド部の強度がより高まる。   In the mold 100, when a melt of a resin composition, which is a cage material, is injected from the gate 120 into the cavity 110, the mold 100 normally flows separately to the left and right to face the gate 120 as illustrated. In the base 10 and the column portion 11 of the retainer 1 obtained by joining at the position, a weld portion is formed at the joining position. Hereinafter, the position where the weld portion occurs is indicated by a virtual line W and is referred to as a weld position W. Therefore, in the present invention, the first resin reservoir 130 is formed through the opening 130a provided at a position corresponding to the weld position W of the cavity 110 of the mold 100, and further, the first resin reservoir 130 is formed in the vicinity of the first resin reservoir 130 through the opening 140a. 2 resin reservoirs 140 are formed. As a result, the melt fills the entire cavity 110 and then flows into the first resin reservoir 130. At this time, the melt flow state is greatly disturbed in the vicinity of the weld position W. Clear boundaries are no longer formed. Moreover, when a fibrous reinforcing material is contained, the fibrous reinforcing material is also randomly oriented. Furthermore, since the melt flows into the second resin reservoir 140 due to the injection pressure or the holding pressure, in addition to the fluidity disturbance due to the first resin reservoir 130, the portion corresponding to the weld portion as a whole is the second resin reservoir 140. It moves to the side of the reservoir 140 and further flow occurs. Thus, the melt flow state is more severely disturbed in the vicinity of the weld position W, and as a result, the strength of the weld portion is further increased.

図2では、第1の樹脂溜まり130及び第2の樹脂溜まり140をキャビティ110の外径側に形成しているが、図3に示すように、第1の樹脂溜まり130及び第2の樹脂溜まり140をキャビティ110の内径側に形成することもできる。   In FIG. 2, the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 are formed on the outer diameter side of the cavity 110. However, as shown in FIG. 3, the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 are formed. 140 may be formed on the inner diameter side of the cavity 110.

また、図4に示すように、第1の樹脂溜まり130をキャビティ110の外径側に、第2の樹脂溜まり140をキャビティ110の内径側に形成することもできる。あるいは、図示は省略するが、第1の樹脂溜まり130をキャビティ110の内径側に、第2の樹脂溜まり140をキャビティ110の外径側に形成することもできる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the first resin reservoir 130 can be formed on the outer diameter side of the cavity 110, and the second resin reservoir 140 can be formed on the inner diameter side of the cavity 110. Alternatively, although not shown, the first resin reservoir 130 may be formed on the inner diameter side of the cavity 110 and the second resin reservoir 140 may be formed on the outer diameter side of the cavity 110.

図2〜図4において、第2の樹脂溜まり140を複数形成することもできる。但し、第2の樹脂溜まり140を偶数形成する場合は、例えば、図5に示すように第2の樹脂溜まり140,140をキャビティ110の一方の側(ここでは外径側)に並べて形成したり、図6に示すように第2の樹脂溜まり140,140をキャビティ110の両側に形成するなどして、第2の樹脂溜まり140がウエルド位置Wを中心に非対称となるように形成することが好ましい。また、図7に示すように、第1の樹脂溜まり130に対して離間距離を変えて第2の樹脂溜まり140,140を形成することで、ウエルド位置Wを中心に非対称にすることもできる。   2 to 4, a plurality of second resin reservoirs 140 may be formed. However, when the second resin reservoir 140 is formed in an even number, for example, the second resin reservoirs 140 and 140 are formed side by side on one side (here, the outer diameter side) of the cavity 110 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, it is preferable to form the second resin reservoirs 140, 140 on both sides of the cavity 110 so that the second resin reservoirs 140 are asymmetric about the weld position W. . Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the second resin reservoirs 140 and 140 are formed by changing the separation distance with respect to the first resin reservoir 130, so that the weld position W can be asymmetrical.

その他、図8に示すように、第1の樹脂溜まり130と第2の樹脂溜まり140とを、ウエルド位置Wにて対向させて形成することもできる。   In addition, as shown in FIG. 8, the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 may be formed to face each other at the weld position W.

上記において、第1の樹脂溜まり130及び第2の樹脂溜まり140の各体積には制限はなく、第1の樹脂溜まり130と第2の樹脂溜まり140とが同体積であってもよいが、第1の樹脂溜まり130は、ウエルド位置Wを仮想直線としたときに、その両側の各々0.1〜10mmの領域に存在する樹脂量に相当する体積であることが好ましく、一方第2の樹脂溜まり140の体積は第1の樹脂溜まり130の体積に対して30〜200%であることが好ましい。また、第2の樹脂溜まり140が複数の場合は、全てが同じ体積てもよく、上記の範囲内で個々に異なっていてもよい。   In the above, each volume of the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 is not limited, and the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 may have the same volume. The first resin reservoir 130 preferably has a volume corresponding to the amount of resin existing in the region of 0.1 to 10 mm on both sides when the weld position W is an imaginary straight line, while the second resin reservoir 130 The volume of 140 is preferably 30 to 200% with respect to the volume of the first resin reservoir 130. Moreover, when there are a plurality of second resin reservoirs 140, all of them may have the same volume, or may individually differ within the above range.

尚、図8に示すような第1の樹脂溜まり130と第2の樹脂溜まり140とを対向した場合には、各樹脂溜まりの体積は共に、
(ウエルド位置Wのキャビティ断面積(mm)/2)×0.2mm×2
以上で、かつ、
(ウエルド位置Wのキャビティ断面積(mm)/2)×〔キャビティの中心線の円周
(mm)×(10°/360°)〕×2
以下であることが好ましい。
When the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 are opposed to each other as shown in FIG. 8, the volume of each resin reservoir is
(Cavity cross-sectional area at weld position W (mm 2 ) / 2) × 0.2 mm × 2
Above, and
(Cavity cross-sectional area at weld position W (mm 2 ) / 2) × [circumference of center line of cavity (mm) × (10 ° / 360 °)] × 2
The following is preferable.

また、溶融物を第1の樹脂溜まり130に流入した後に、第2の樹脂溜まり140に流入させるためには、第2の樹脂溜まり140の開口140aの開口面積を第1の樹脂溜まり130の開口130aの開口面積よりも小さくすればよい。具体的には、第2の樹脂溜まり140の開口140aの開口面積は第1の樹脂溜まり130の開口部130aの開口面積に対して30〜80%であることが好ましい。   In order to allow the melt to flow into the second resin reservoir 140 after flowing into the first resin reservoir 130, the opening area of the opening 140 a of the second resin reservoir 140 is set to the opening of the first resin reservoir 130. What is necessary is just to make it smaller than the opening area of 130a. Specifically, the opening area of the opening 140 a of the second resin reservoir 140 is preferably 30 to 80% with respect to the opening area of the opening 130 a of the first resin reservoir 130.

更に、第2の樹脂溜まり140による溶融物の移動を確実にするためには、第2の開口140aの開口面積が、開口140aが面している部分(図2に仮想線Aで示す)のキャビティ断面積より狭くすることが好ましい。具体的には、キャビティ断面積の0.1〜60%であることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.1〜40%である。   Further, in order to ensure the movement of the melt by the second resin reservoir 140, the opening area of the second opening 140a is the portion of the portion facing the opening 140a (shown by the phantom line A in FIG. 2). It is preferable to make it narrower than the cavity cross-sectional area. Specifically, it is preferably 0.1 to 60% of the cavity cross-sectional area, more preferably 0.1 to 40%.

第1の樹脂溜まり130及び第2の樹脂溜まり140における上記体積及び開口面積がその下限及び上限を外れると、溶融物の流動状態を乱す効果が少なくなる。   When the volume and the opening area in the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 are out of the lower limit and the upper limit, the effect of disturbing the flow state of the melt is reduced.

更には、第2の樹脂溜まり140の開口140aは第1の樹脂溜まり130の開口130aに近い方が好ましいため、本発明では、第1の樹脂溜まり130の開口130aの中心と、第2の樹脂溜まり130の開口140aの中心との距離が、ポケットの最大幅P(図1の冠形保持器1ではポケット12の曲率半径の2倍)以内に接近している。 Furthermore, since the opening 140a of the second resin reservoir 140 is preferably closer to the opening 130a of the first resin reservoir 130 , in the present invention, the center of the opening 130a of the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir distance between the center of the reservoir 130 of the opening 140a are, we are approaching within the maximum width P of the pocket (2 times the radius of curvature of the snap cage 1 in the pocket 12 of Figure 1).

本発明では、上記のように第1の樹脂溜まり130及び第2の樹脂溜まり140を備える保持器成形用金型100を用いる限り、成形条件には制限はなく、従来の合成樹脂製保持器を射出成形する際の成形条件をそのまま採用できる。   In the present invention, as long as the cage molding die 100 including the first resin reservoir 130 and the second resin reservoir 140 is used as described above, molding conditions are not limited, and a conventional synthetic resin cage is used. The molding conditions for injection molding can be used as they are.

このようにして得られる合成樹脂製保持器は、明確なウエルド部が無く、より高強度で、耐久性や信頼性により優れたものとなる。従って、肉厚を薄くすることも可能であり、保持器の軽量化及び原料コストを低減することができ、更には肉厚を薄くした分、転動体のサイズを大きくすることもでき、軸受の定格荷重が高まり軸受の長寿命化を図ることもできる。   The thus-obtained synthetic resin cage does not have a clear weld, has higher strength, and is superior in durability and reliability. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the wall thickness, reduce the weight of the cage and reduce the raw material cost, and further increase the size of the rolling element by reducing the wall thickness. The rated load increases and the life of the bearing can be extended.

本発明は種々の変更が可能であり、上記は単一ゲートの場合であるが、ゲート120が複数の場合は、ゲート数と一致させてウエルド位置Wに第1の樹脂溜まり130を形成し、第1の樹脂溜まり130の開口130aの中心と、第2の樹脂溜まり130の開口140aの中心との距離が、ポケットの最大幅P以内となるように第2の樹脂溜まり140を形成する。 The present invention can be variously modified, and the above is the case of a single gate, but when there are a plurality of gates 120, the first resin reservoir 130 is formed at the weld position W in accordance with the number of gates, The second resin reservoir 140 is formed such that the distance between the center of the opening 130a of the first resin reservoir 130 and the center of the opening 140a of the second resin reservoir 130 is within the maximum width P of the pocket .

また、保持器の種類も冠型保持器に限らず、図9及び図10に示すようなアンギュラ玉軸受用保持器、図11に示すような円錐ころ軸受用保持器、図12に示すような円筒ころ軸受用保持器、図13に示すような針状ころ軸受用保持器等の製造にも応用でき、それぞれの保持器に対応する金型のキャビティに第1の樹脂溜まり及び第2の樹脂溜まりを付加すればよい。尚、第1の樹脂溜まりと第2の樹脂溜まりとの間隔を示すポケットの最大幅Pを、各図面内に示す。   Further, the type of cage is not limited to the crown type cage, but also includes angular ball bearing cages as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, tapered roller bearing cages as shown in FIG. 11, and as shown in FIG. The present invention can also be applied to the manufacture of cylindrical roller bearing cages and needle roller bearing cages as shown in FIG. 13, and the first resin reservoir and the second resin in the mold cavity corresponding to each cage. What is necessary is just to add a reservoir. In addition, the maximum width P of the pocket which shows the space | interval of a 1st resin reservoir and a 2nd resin reservoir is shown in each drawing.

本発明は、上記の合成樹脂製保持器を備える転がり軸受を提供する。何れも図示は省略するが、例えば図1に示すような冠型保持器を備える玉軸受、図9及び図10に示すようなアンギュラ玉軸受用保持器を備えるアンギュラ玉軸受、図11に示すような円錐ころ軸受用保持器を備える円錐ころ軸受、図12に示すような円筒ころ軸受用保持器を備える円筒ころ軸受、図13に示すような針状ころ軸受用保持器を備える針状ころ軸受等を挙げることができる。   The present invention provides a rolling bearing comprising the above synthetic resin cage. Although not shown in any drawings, for example, a ball bearing having a crown-shaped cage as shown in FIG. 1, an angular ball bearing having an angular ball bearing cage as shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, as shown in FIG. Tapered roller bearing with a tapered roller bearing retainer, a cylindrical roller bearing with a cylindrical roller bearing retainer as shown in FIG. 12, and a needle roller bearing with a needle roller bearing retainer as shown in FIG. Etc.
