Retainer for tapered roller bearing, method for manufacturing retainer, and tapered roller bearing

摘要

A retainer for a tapered roller includes a first side having a first radius and a second side having a second radius, wherein the first radius is smaller than the second radius, a first ring portion at the first side of the retainer, a second ring portion at the second side of the retainer, and a plurality of brace portions arranged between the first ring portion and the second ring portion. The retainer is made of a resin material and is configured to retain tapered rollers in pockets formed between the brace portions. A hook portion is formed at the second side of the retainer, and is engaged with an inner race on a second side having a larger radius than a first side thereof. An outer diameter of each pocket on the first side of the retainer is larger than an inner diameter of the hook portion.
