Ball bearing with cage formed of axial sections

摘要

A linear-motion ball bearing has an outer sleeve and a cylindrical cage within the sleeve, with endless raceways defined by the sleeve and cage, and balls substantially filling the raceways; the cage is formed of axially-extending sections, with a gap defined between the pair of adjacent edges of each two adjacent sections, and a projection extending circumferentially from one of each pair of edges into a recess of an adjacent edge.
