Abstract:
A thrust roller bearing cage (11) of the present invention is included in a thrust roller bearing (20) and includes a plurality of pockets (21) accommodating rollers (13). The thrust roller bearing cage (11) includes: a radially outer area bent portion (41) formed by bending an area located radially outside the pockets (21) inward in a radial direction; and projecting portions (44) that are formed in a tip end of the radially outer area bent portion (41) and project inward in the radial direction so as to contact end faces (16) of the rollers (13) accommodated in the pockets. Radially outer edges (21a) of the pockets (21) are located radially outside base end parts (44a) of the projecting portions (44).
Abstract:
A thrust roller bearing cage (11) of the present invention is included in a thrust roller bearing (20) and includes a plurality of pockets (21) accommodating rollers (13). The thrust roller bearing cage (11) includes: a first cylindrical portion (36) extending in a direction of a rotation axis (12); a first disc portion (31) continuous with the first cylindrical portion (36) and extending in a radially outward direction; and a second cylindrical portion (37) continuous with the first disc portion (31) and extending in the direction of the rotation axis (12). The first cylindrical portion (36), the first disc portion (31), and the second cylindrical portion (37) are formed in an area located radially inside the pockets (21). The height (H36) of the first cylindrical portion (36) in the direction of the rotation axis is smaller than the height (H37) of the second cylindrical portion (37) in the direction of the rotation axis.

A thrust roller bearing cage (11) of the present invention is included in a thrust roller bearing (20) and includes a plurality of pockets (21) accommodating rollers (13). The thrust roller bearing cage (11) includes: a radially outer area bent portion (41) formed by bending the cage (11) inward in a radial direction along an annular groove formed at a position radially outside the pockets (21); and projecting portions (44) that are formed in a tip end of the radially outer area bent portion (41) at positions aligned with the pockets (21) and project inward in the radial direction beyond radially outer edges of the pockets (21) so as to contact end faces (16) of the rollers (13) accommodated in the pockets (21). A trace (29) of the groove is left at a position along which the cage is bent.
Abstract:
A thrust roller bearing cage (11) is a cage (11) provided to a thrust roller bearing and having a plurality of pockets (21) that house needle rollers (13). The cage (11) includes projections (44) that are formed by bending a radially outer area of the cage (11) inwardly along the radius and that project inwardly along the radius toward a radially outer area of the pockets (21) to make contact with end faces (16) of the rollers (13). The projections (44) have corners (45) that make contact with the end faces (16) of the rollers (13). The corners (45) are press-flattened.

The first cylindrical portion (36), the first disc portion (31), and the second cylindrical portion (37) are formed in an area located radially inside the pockets (21). The first disc portion (31) has a through hole (53).
