The invention is for an outer ring which has a flange formed with engaging hooks for assembly with a retainer. An object is to prevent the outer ring from catching each another in manufacturing steps. A thrust bearing includes an outer ring 11 which has a flange 15 provided with radially inward-protruding engaging hooks 16. Each engaging hook 16 has an amount of protrusion h1 which is not greater than a height h2 of the flange tip edge of a hypothetical outer ring 11a (h1<h2). This arrangement prevents any of the engaging hooks 16 of the outer ring 11 from being caught by the flange of another outer ring. |
