Abstract
A bearing unit has rolling elements separated by floating solid-lubricant spacers which interfit with the roller elements. When the rolling elements are rollers, the ends of the rollers are lubricated by solid lubricant caps on the rollers, or by end portions of the spacer which overlap the roller ends, or by end ring members of solid-lubricant material. If the bearing unit includes a cage, floating solid-lubricant spacers are located between the cage dividers and the rolling elements.
