PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bearing and a method for bearing a shaft of a rotor, which are adaptable for various applications for bearing the shaft of the rotor, reduce weight, and save on a space. SOLUTION: This bearing 200 is provided with a pair of storage parts 206, 208 for storing a plurality of balls 210 each to bear the shaft of the rotor 204 so as to rotate for an annular supporting body 202. In each storage part, a flat section 206 (208) and a curved section 214 (218) extending in the axial direction from the flat section and curved so as to store the ball 210 are annularly formed along the peripheral direction, height of an edge of the flat section is larger than height of the stored ball, and height of an edge of the curved section is smaller than height of the stored ball. The pair of storage parts are fitted into the supporting body 202 while the curved section 214 of the storage part 206 on one side, faces the curved section 218 of the storage part 208 on the other side. The rotor 204 is arranged between a pair of flat sections while it is abutted on the ball and slides on the ball to rotate to the supporting body. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
