Abstract
A needle bearing including a cage that is shrinkable or extensible in a circumferential direction, which can prevent plastic deformation and ensure both of a sufficient strength for axial torsion and a sufficient deformation amount. In a drawn cup needle bearing, a cage includes a plurality of elastic deformation portions along a circumferential direction thereof, which are shrunk in the circumferential direction. The elastic deformation portions are formed symmetrically with respect to an intermediate portion C in an axial direction of the cage.
