Abstract

A roller bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rollers arranged between said outer ring and said inner ring; and a plurality of retainer segments having a plurality of column parts extending in a direction along a shaft so as to form a pocket for holding said roller. A connection part extends in a circumferential direction so as to connect the plurality of column parts, and continuously lined with each other in the circumferential direction between said outer ring and said inner ring, in which a corner of a circumferential end face is chamfered. Also provided is a spacer arranged between the circumferentially arranged first retainer segment and last retainer segment, wherein a chamfered part is provided at a corner of a circumferential spacer end face of the space. The roller bearing can be used in a main shaft support structure of a wind-power generator.
