Abstract

An inner ring has a rib face as a concave surface that is formed on the larger diameter side of an inner ring and that contacts large end faces of tapered rollers. A tapered roller bearing satisfies Ri>R≧Rr, where Rr represents a curvature radius of the large end face, Ri represents a curvature radius of the rib face 8 in a longitudinal section of the inner ring 2, R represents a distance from a cone center to a reference point. The distance R is the distance from the cone center to the reference point, where the reference point is the intersection of the rib face and an imaginary line extending from the cone center and along an inner ring raceway surface in the longitudinal section of the inner ring 2. Surface roughness of the rib face is greater than that of the large end face.
