The present invention relates to a grease composition including: a base oil; a thickener; a rust inhibitor; and an extreme pressure agent, in which the rust inhibitor includes, with respect to a total mass of the grease composition: 0.10 mass % to 10.00 mass % of a calcium sulfonate; 0.20 mass % to 10.00 mass % of a zinc sulfonate; and 0.10 mass % to 10.00 mass % of a zinc carboxylate, and the extreme pressure agent includes, with respect to the total mass of the grease composition, 2.00 mass % to 14.00 mass % of a zinc dialkyldithiophosphate.

Grease composition and rolling bearing

A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a cage. The cage includes an annular body placed closer to the first side in the axial direction than the rolling elements, and a plurality of cage prongs provided to extend to the second side in the axial direction from the annular body. The cage prong includes a lack portion provided from the first side to the second side in the axial direction such that the lack portion is opened to the second side in the axial direction and along the radial direction. The cage prong includes a pair of cage prong bodies such that the cage prong bodies are provided on both sides of the lack portion in the circumferential direction and make contact with a corresponding one of the rolling elements, and a stiffening rib is provided between the cage prong bodies.

Rolling bearing and cage

A rolling bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements, and a cage. The cage includes an annular body, a plurality of cage prongs, and guide portions placed inward of the cage prongs in the radial direction of the cage such that the guide portions extend from a radially inner part of the annular body toward a second side in the axial direction of the cage, the guide portions being configured to position the cage by making contact with an inner ring raceway. The cage has a groove so as to connect pockets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, the groove being configured such that lubricant is present in the groove and a groove width of the groove is increased in the radial direction in the center of the groove in the circumferential direction.

A rolling bearing includes: an inner ring; an outer ring; a plurality of balls provided between an inner ring raceway and an outer ring raceway; and an annular cage in which the balls are held at intervals in the circumferential direction of the cage. The cage includes an annular body, a plurality of first cage prongs, and a plurality of second cage prongs. A radially outer part of each of the first cage prongs includes a recessed portion. The recessed portion is constituted by a region surrounded by a first side wall surface, a second side wall surface, a bottom wall surface, and a third side wall surface.
