CYLINDRICAL BEARING HAVING A TWO-PIECE CAGE CONFIGURATION WITH A DUAL GOTHIC ARCH POCKET GEOMETRY

摘要

The present invention is an improved cage for use in guiding rollers within a roller bearing. The cage includes a spacer bar assembly having a plurality of spacer bars (30) that extend axially from a first integral endplate (34). The spacer bar assembly is secured to a second similarly shaped end plate (32) to form a two-piece cage. The spacer bars have opposing sides (31) and the areas between the sides of adjacent spacer bars define pockets that are adapted to receive the rollers. Each pocket in the two-piece cage has a dual gothic arch configuration.
