A ball bearing structure comprising an outer ring and an inner ring defining a ball race. The inner ring is composed of two sections which when assembled trap the outer ring against axial separation of the rings. The inner ring sections are provided with an annular rib structure which enables their being snap-fitted together easily and inseparably, giving a long service life, low cost bearing apparatus.
