<p>The invention relates to a rolling-element bearing cage (1), comprising a first side ring (2) and a second side ring (3), which are arranged about an axis (a), wherein a number of webs (4) extends between the first side ring (2) and the second side ring (3), such that a number of accommodating pockets (5) for rolling elements that corresponds to the number of webs (4) is formed, wherein each side ring (2, 3) has a radial extent (T) and wherein a circumferential extent (U) is present between two adjacent webs (4), such that each side ring (2, 3) has a projection face (A) facing the accommodating pocket (5) between two adjacent webs (4) as viewed in the axial direction (a) and wherein each side ring (2, 3) has a running face (6, 7) for a rolling element on the side of the side ring facing the accommodating pocket (5). According to the invention, in order to improve the lubrication of the bearing in which the rolling-element bearing cage is used, the contact face (6, 7) for a rolling element is at most 95% of the projection face (A), wherein the running face (6, 7) is designed as a plateau that is raised above the rest of the surface of the side ring (2, 3) facing the accommodating pocket (5).</p> |
