Abstract
A rolling bearing assembly according to the present invention includes an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of rolling elements interposed between the inner and outer rings, and a magnet provided to cause magnetic attraction between the rolling elements and at least one of the inner and outer rings. With the magnetic attraction, it is possible to avoid any collision between the rolling elements and the inner and outer rings, thereby preventing brittle flaking from occurring in the rolling bearing assembly.
