Abstract
A ball bearing includes an inner ring having an outer periphery in which an inner raceway groove is formed, an outer ring having an inner periphery in which an outer raceway groove is formed, a plurality of balls interposed between the inner raceway groove and the outer raceway groove, and an annular cage that holds the balls. The cage includes an annular portion positioned on one side in an axial direction with respect to the balls and a plurality of cage bar portions that extends from the annular portion toward the other side in the axial direction. Each cage bar portion has a guide portion, and this guide portion positions the cage by coming into contact with the outer raceway groove at one location in a non-contact area other than an area in which the corresponding ball is in contact with the outer raceway groove.
