Abstract
A thrust roller bearing includes a plurality of radially arranged rollers, and a pair of annular washers having raceway surfaces on which the rollers roll. The raceway surfaces are arranged to face each other. The roller is made of high-carbon chromium bearing steel and has a surface roughness of 0.01 to 0.10 in terms of Rvk and 0.01 to 0.08 in terms of Rk. At least one of the washers is made of carbon steel, surface compressive residual stress of the raceway surface is −1400 MPa to −1000 MPa, and Vickers hardness of surface of the raceway surface is 850 to 900.
