A rolling bearing which has a satisfactory life at a low cost even under such service conditions that water is incorporated into a lubricant either externally or due to dew condensation, or that vibration has an influence, and is particularly suitable for electrical equipment and accessories of automobile engines, such as alternators. The hydrogen ion index pH of a grease scaled in the interior of the bearing is adjusted to 7 to 13. For attaining similar effects, the pH of the grease is adjusted to 5 to 13 when an organic metal salt or ADTC has been added in a predetermined amount to the grease, when an inorganic compound having an average particle diameter of not more than 2 Ám has been added in a predetermined amount to the grease, or when a diurea compound containing an aromatic amine or a mixture of diurea compounds has been added as a thickening agent to the grease. |
