Roller Bearing Cage

摘要

A roller bearing cage includes at least one bridge element having a surface provided for directly opposing an outer surface of a roller body. A plurality of ship-hull-shaped or droplet-t-shaped macroscopic recesses is formed in the surface for retaining a lubricant therein. The recesses have at least one of a width and a depth in the circumferential direction of the roller body that diminishes towards at least one end in the circumferential direction. A first group of the recess diminishes in a direction substantially towards one of the ends and a second group of the recess diminishes in a direction towards the other end.
