The underlying object of the invention is to propose a cage for a rolling element bearing and a method for the production thereof, wherein the cage is characterized either by an increased number of rolling elements or improved load-bearing capacity. A cage (1) for a rolling element bearing comprising a plurality of cage pockets (2) for receiving the rolling elements, comprising two side rings (3) and a plurality of cross-ribs (4), is proposed, wherein the cross-ribs (4) connect the side rings (3) such that the cage pockets (2) are formed, wherein the cage pockets (2) have milled-out or drilled-out corner regions (7) - hereinafter collectively referred to as milled-out corner regions -, wherein the corner regions (7) in a cutting plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the cage (1) have a radial milling course (11) in the direction of the axis of rotation, said course at least in a partial section (9) being configured at an incline with respect to a radial vector (13) placed through the partial section (9) and the axis of rotation, and wherein the milling course (11) in the partial section (9) is configured at an incline in the direction of the cage pocket (2). |
