Abstract
A sealed rolling bearing in which a rolling member is disposed in a bearing space formed between an outer race and an inner race to rotate the outer race and the inner race relatively to each other, and rotation seal members are disposed at both ends of the bearing space in the axial direction thereof while a stationary seal member is disposed on the side of the inner race, thereby sealing the bearing space. The bearing is provided with a vent on the side of the inner race for approximating a fluid pressure in the bearing space to an outside fluid pressure by causing the inside of the bearing space to communicate with the outside when the state of fluid in the bearing space and state of the outside fluid have a predetermined relationship.
