MOLD DEVICE FOR MANUFACTURING COLUMNAR ROLLING ELEMENT, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING COLUMNAR ROLLING ELEMENT, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ROLLING BEARING, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING MACHINE DEVICE

With respect to the manufacture of cylindrical rolling bodies, excess material on an outside section in the radial direction and recesses in both end surfaces in the axial direction are not generated as much as possible in the intermediate material that is removed from a molding device for performing compression molding. Annular concave sections 27 are provided on the inner-circumferential surfaces 20a of molding concave sections 19a provided in a stationary-side mold 17a and a movable-side mold 18a. The stationary-side mold 17a and the movable-side mold 18a are brought close to each other in the axial direction while compressing the intermediate material 23 in a state in which both side sections in the axial direction of the intermediate material 23 are inserted into the molding concave sections 19a. At this time, a part of the material of the intermediate material 23 is made to enter inside the annular concave sections 27, and undercut sections 32 are formed on the outer side in the radial direction of a compression-molded intermediate material 23b. After that, when removing both side sections in the axial direction of the intermediate material 23b from the inside of the molding concave sections 19a in the axial direction, the undercut sections 32 are drawn through or handled by stepped sections 29 existing at the end sections in the axial direction of the annular concave sections 27.
