A bearing is provided to have sufficient durability even when CVT fluid
having a low viscocity is used, with its flow rate kept small, so that
the efficiency of the belt-type continuously variable transmission is
improved.The material of the races including the outer race 4 is made of
a iron-base alloy containing, by weight, C of from 0.15% to 0.5%, Si of
0.1% to 1.5%, Mn of 0.1% to 1.5%, and Cr of 0.5% to 3.0%. This material
is subjected to carbonitriding, quenching, tempering and quenching
finish. The surface portion of the outer raceway 6 on the inner
peripheral surface of the outer race 4 is formed with a surface layer
containing C of from 0.8 weight % to 1.2 weight % and N of from 0.05
weight % to 0.50 weight %.
