ABSTRACT:
A deep-raceway ball bearing 1 as a ball bearing includes an inner ring 2, an outer ring 3 and a rolling element 4. The inner ring 2 is annular as a whole and circular in cross section. A rotary shaft 5 is fastened to the inner peripheral surface of the inner ring 2. The outer ring 3 is annular as a whole and circular in cross section, and larger in inside diameter than the inner ring 2. A plural number of rolling elements 4 are disposed in reliable fashion between the inner ring 2 and the outer ring 3, while being in contact with the outer peripheral surface 6 of the inner ring 2 and the inner peripheral surface 7 of the outer ring 3. The outer peripheral surface 6 of the inner ring 2, while extending in the circumferential direction thereof, is curved inward to form an inner raceway 8 circular in cross section. The inner peripheral surface 7 of the outer ring 3, while extending in the circumferential direction thereof, is also curved inward to form an outer raceway 9 circular in cross section. The radius of curvature of the inner raceway 8 of the inner ring 2 is selected to have a value within the range from 50.5% of the diameter da of each rolling element 4 to a value less than 52% of the same. The radius of curvature of the sectionally circular groove 9 of the outer ring 3 is selected to have a value more than 52.0% of the diameter da of each rolling element 4 and equal or less than 55.0% of the same.
