Abstract

Each of resin cage (4) is injection-molded of a mixture material containing a thermoplastic resin selected as a material excellent in outgassing characteristic, a proper amount of reinforcing fiber, and a proper amount of a lubricating component. A lubricating film (10) made of a fluorine-containing polymer having a functional group is deposited on at least rolling surfaces and/or sliding surfaces of constituent members (inner and outer races (1 and 2), rolling elements (3) and cage 4) of a bearing. That is, the lubricating film (10) makes lubricity good at an early stage of rotation, so that incipient abrasion of the cage (4) can be suppressed. Hence, stabilization of operation with the passage of time can be exhibited on the basis of synergistic action of the lubricating film (10) and micro wear powder generated from the cage (4).
