ABSTRACT:
A ball bearing cage fitted in a pulley main body having peripheral surface to be contacted by a belt. The pulley bearing includes a raceway surface and grease. The cage has pockets for receiving balls which are circumferentially disposed with unequal pitch such that when some of the vibrating balls impart channeling to the grease on the raceway surface, the other balls ride on the grease on the raceway surface. This suppresses or prevents the occurrence of cold peculiar sound.
