A rolling bearing includes a plurality of rolling elements movably retained at almost the same interval between an inner ring and an outer ring with a cage made of synthetic resin provided interposed therebetween. The rolling bearing further includes, an oil film made of a lubricant, and a grease containing a synthetic oil as a base oil enclosed therein. The lubricant contains at least one additive selected from the group consisting of organic aliphatic acid, organic aliphatic acid derivative and organic phosphorus compound incorporated in a synthetic oil in a proportion of from 0.5 to 10% by weight formed on the surface of the raceways of the inner and outer rings and the surface of the rolling elements, and a grease containing a synthetic oil as a base oil enclosed therein.

Rolling Bearing

A rolling bearing for an HDD being excellent in the resistance to fretting wear, capable of lowering the torque and relieving the torque change and having a long life while exerting no undesirable effect on various bearing properties. A rolling bearing for hard disk drives wherein a cagesupports a plural number of rolling elementslocated between an inner ringand an outer ringand sealing membersfixed to the both ends in the axial direction of one of said inner ringand said outer ringare opposite to each other, wherein a lubricating oil has been injected into the bearing space formed between said sealing membersat the both ends in the axial direction so as to amount to 1 to 50% by volume of the bearing space.
