Abstract:
A rolling bearing device includes: a bearing portion that has an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of balls, and a cage that holds the plurality of balls; and an oil supply unit provided adjacent to the bearing portion in the axial direction and configured to supply lubricating oil to the bearing portion. The oil supply unit has: a pump that suctions lubricating oil into an oil chamber and discharges the lubricating oil by varying a capacity of the oil chamber by periodically driving a piezo element; and a control portion that causes the pump to operate by varying a rising time of a voltage applied to the piezo element in accordance with whether a drive period of the piezo element is long or short.
