Abstract
A rotation-preventing member has an annular main body, first keys, and second keys. The first keys face one another across a main body axis, and extend to one side along an axial direction of the main body. The first keys have first surfaces that include the axial direction and a radial direction of the main body. The second keys face one another across an imaginary surface being parallel to the first surfaces and including the axis, and the second keys extend to the same side as the first keys extend to or the side opposite to the first keys along the axial direction. The second keys also have third surfaces orthogonal to the first surfaces and including the axial direction. Of the first keys and second keys, at least the first keys are provided with recesses that open onto end surfaces on the side toward which the keys extend.
