Abstract
A rolling bearing apparatus includes a lubrication unit provided adjacently to an annular space formed between an inner ring and an outer ring. The lubrication unit includes a tank that stores a lubricant to be supplied to an annular space and that has an outlet portion through which the lubricant flows out. The tank has a flexible bag in which the lubricant is stored. The bag is filled with the lubricant and allows the lubricant to flow out through the outlet portion as a volume of the bag decreases.
