Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cage for separating rollers in a toroidal roller bearing. The cage comprises a first and second annular ring, a plurality of elongated axial members interposed between the first and second annular ring to thereby form a number of roller pockets. The cage further presents a portion extending radially inwardly on at least one of the first and second annular ring. The portion further extends in at least a part of the circumference of the at least one first and second annular ring. The radially outer peripheral surface of the annular ring presenting the portion presents axial grooves at least at the circumference having the portion, wherein each axial groove is located at the axial end face of each roller pocket in such a way that a roller can be inserted and pulled out via the axial groove into and out of each roller pocket.
