Abstract

A rolling bearing in which the outer diameter of a first rolling element is different from that of a second rolling element. During the operation of the rolling bearing, the speeds of revolution of the first and second rolling elements are different from each other due to a difference in their outer diameter. The circumferential directions in which the first and second rolling elements move within pockets are opposite to each other, so that a cage is prevented from vibrating with respect to the first and second rolling elements.
