Anti-friction bearing with a segmented cage, particularly for large cylindrical roller bearings

摘要

An anti-friction bearing, particularly for large cylindrical roller bearings where the bearing includes an outer ring, an inner ring, cylindrical roller bearing elements between the rings and an annular cage for holding the bearing elements between the rings. The cage comprises a plurality of cage segments, each holding a cylindrical roller bearing. Each segment has a pair of resilient radially inwardly extending noses at both sides thereof and these noses are received in grooves in the inner ring. The axially outer side parts of each segment extend radially to the outer ring and are curved there more sharply than the curvature of the outer ring. The outer side parts also extend to the inner ring and rest there on rounded projections.
