PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a rolling bearing for a cooling water pump, having long-time durability while effectively preventing the peeling of a rolling surface resulting from the entry of water. SOLUTION: The rolling bearing 1 for the cooling water pump comprises a rolling element 4 laid between a rotating shaft 10 articulated at one end to a pulley which is driven by an engine and articulated at the other end to an impeller which circulates cooling water, and an outer ring 3 fixed to a housing 11, wherein grease 7 is filled around the rolling element 4 and a space between the outer ring 3 and the rotating shaft 10 is sealed by a pair of sealing unit 8 fixed to both ends of the outer ring 3. The grease 7 is waterproof grease formed by mixing additive containing at least water dispersant in base grease consisting of nonaqueous base oil and thickener. The mixed amount of the water dispersant is such that the saturated water amount of the waterproof grease is set to be 30-60 wt.%. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
