There is provided a roller bearing in which contact stress between a roller and a raceway is uniformized by optimizing a configuration of a clearance between the roller and the raceway. A configuration of an outer circumferential surface (8) of a tapered roller (6) of a tapered roller bearing (1) is defined so that a clearance of Y(x)=kYp(x), which results from multiplying an equation Yp(x) for uniformizing contact stress between infinite-width plate and tapered roller by a positive number k=1.5-10, is formed between the raceway surface (4, 5) and the outer circumferential surface (8) of the tapered roller (6). The tapered roller (6) relaxes concentration of contact stresses, improving the durability. |
