ABSTRACT:
A thrust ball bearing in which the lives of a power roller and an outer ring can be ensured without increasing a rotational resistance. The thrust ball bearing can thus be improved in durability without impairing the performance of a toroidal type continuously variable transmission having such a thrust ball bearing built thereinto. Fracture toughness K.sub.1c of a material forming the power roller is made higher than fracture toughness K.sub.1c ' of a material forming the outer ring (K.sub.1c >K.sub.1c '). Further, the maximum contact surface pressure P.sub.max between an inner ring raceway and the respective balls is made smaller than the maximum contact surface pressure P.sub.max ' between an outer ring raceway and the respective balls (P.sub.max <P.sub.max ').
