• and
• a plurality of rollers disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and
• the magnetic fluid seal mechanism comprises:
• a cylindrical member that is a magnetic body and is disposed outside the drive shaft cylinder on a front side of the inner ring;
• a ring-shaped magnet disposed on an outer circumferential side of the cylindrical member;
• each of a first magnetic plate and a second magnetic plate having a ring shape and disposed on both sides of the magnet in an axial direction;
• and
• a magnetic fluid that is disposed in a gap between the cylindrical member and a pair of the magnetic plates and is held by a magnetic force,
