The radius of curvature of the said surfaces may be equal to or less than that of the outer race 11 (as at 9 and 10 respectively). The centre portions 12, 13 of the cross-pieces are cranked; in an alternative embodiment, they are straight. The curvatures on the cross-piece portions are formed by non- cutting shaping before or after the flat strip is bent into an annulus. The ends of the strip may be welded together.</p> |
