An insulated bearing includes a pair of bearing rings arranged concentrically to each other and rolling elements arranged to be rotatable between the pair of bearing rings, at least one of the bearing rings having an insulating layer formed thereon. The one of the bearing rings having the insulating layer formed thereon has an annular groove having an arc-shaped cross section formed on each of both end surfaces of the bearing ring. At least a surface from a non-raceway surface side circumferential surface to the annular groove of the bearing ring is covered by the insulating layer. The insulating layer is a ceramic thermal sprayed layer.

Insulated bearing

An insulated bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and a plurality of rolling elements. At least one of the outer ring and an inner ring is made of metal, the plurality of rolling elements are provided between the outer ring and the inner ring, so as to be freely rolled, and at least one of the outer ring and an inner ring is coated with an insulating layer. The insulating layer is formed of a mixture in which silicon carbide and/or aluminum nitride as an additive are/is dispersed in aluminum oxide as a base matrix. The content of the additive is 1 to 40 mass % with respect to the total amount of the mixture.

Insulated bearing and bearing coating method

A conveyor bearing includes an inner ring fitted on and fixed to a shaft, a plurality of rolling elements arranged rollably on a raceway surface of the inner ring, an outer ring disposed of rotatably relative to the inner ring via the rolling elements, and a seal member to seal in a grease between the outer ring and the inner ring. The seal member has a plurality of seal lips and is mounted on at least one location on the bearing.
