PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the looseness of a set screw in a rolling bearing, the inner race of which is assembled on a shaft by means of the set screw in the state of a clearance fit. SOLUTION: A cylindrical member 6 having a thickness thinner than the fitting clearance between the inner race 1 and the shaft A is fitted in the inner race 1 such that its outer peripheral surface comes into close contact with the inner peripheral surface of the inner race 1. As a result, the fitting clearance is reduced, and the set screw 5 is hardly loosened. Further, the cylindrical member 6 has the outside diameter larger than the inside diameter of the inner race, and its one portion in the circumference is cut off. As a result, the cylindrical member 6 can be simply assembled by utilizing an elastic restoring force only by fitting it in the inner peripheral surface of the inner race 1 by reducing its diameter within its elastic range. Further, a mounting hole 6a has been formed on the cylindrical member 6 so as to pass the set screw 5 therethrough, and a projection 6b has been formed around the mounting hole 6a so as to be fitted into the screw hole 1c of the inner race 1. Therefore, the aligning of the cylindrical member 6 can be easily carried out in assembling it. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
