A cage, rollers and solid lubricant are all formed integrally into a complete unitary molding with using difference in thermal expansion in a mold. Assembling the complete unitary molding into the race in the rolling-contact bearing is made easier. The complete unitary molding is made such that the rollers remain exposed partially at their rolling surfaces above the inside circular surface of the complete unitary molding while the solid lubricant on the outside circular surface of the complete unitary molding is squeezed out from between the rolling surfaces of the rollers and the inside circular surface of the outside mold upon molding operation, thereby getting the rolling surfaces of the rollers exposed partially. The mold is composed of an outside mold, an inside mold and an intermediate mold, which is made of a substance larger in thermal expansion than other substance for the outside and inside molds.

A thermal chuck or heat sink (10) has a lower surface (12) covered with fins (14) parallel to air flow (16), to increase the surface area and promote heat transfer. A pair of slots (32) near pedestal (20) (along the fins) effectively lowers the conductivity of the metal in the direction across the fins. Heat flowing through this region of lowered conductivity experiences a greater temperature drop. This raises the temperature at the adjacent parts of the top surface, and (for properly sized slots) results in circular isotherms. The circular isotherms are turned into a nearly isothermal surface by a precisely dimensioned groove (36) parallel to the top surface (22), extending around the circumference of the pedestal (20). Heat flowing into the outer regions of the circular surface (22) is forced to travel radially inward, thus raising the edge temperature (which would naturally be lower than the center). For properly sized slots (32) and groove (36), it is possible to achieve a nearly constant temperature top surface (22).
