To provide a machine component with an IC tag affixed thereto, in which
with the IC tag having an increased storage capacity, the IC tag can be
mounted with no difficulty and, also, reading or writing of information
from or in the IC tag, respectively, can be facilitated. A plurality of
IC tags 2 are attached to a machine component, which forms a part of a
rolling bearing assembly 1, or to a machine component and an accessory
with division made therebetween. Those plural IC tags 2 have different
information stored therein. Where the machine component is a retainer
incorporated rolling bearing assembly 1, those plural IC tags are
attached to a roller retainer 5 at respective locations symmetrical with
each other about the axis O of rotation thereof.
