ROLLING BEARING CAGE AND ROLLING BEARING

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a cage for a rolling bearing having a film, formed on a surface thereof, which wears little over a long period of time from an initial stage of sliding contact between the film and rolling elements as well as other members and does not peel off the surface of a base material of the cage or dissolve in lubricating oil containing a sulfur-based additive and a rolling bearing having the cage. A cage (2) retains needle rollers (3) which are rolling elements of a needle rolling bearing (1). Of an entire outer surface of the cage (2), a tin alloy film consisting of tin and a metal other than the tin is formed on at least a sliding-contact surface of the cage (2) to be subjected to sliding contact with the needle rollers (3) and a sliding-contact surface thereof to be subjected to sliding contact with other members. The metal other than the tin has a lower surface free energy than iron. In the tin alloy film, as a weight ratio (wt%) between the tin and the metal other than the tin, (tin : metal other than tin) = (65:35) to (95:5).
