A cage for a bearing, including: a first annular segment; a second annular segment located radially inwardly of the first annular segment; a vane connected to the first annular segment and to the second annular segment and including a first axial end facing at least partly in a first axial direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the cage and a second axial end facing at least partly in a second axial direction, opposite the first axial direction, the second axial end off-set from the first axial end in a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation; and a curved surface connected to the first annular segment and the second annular segment and arranged to retain a ball of the bearing. The first annular segment, the second annular segment, the vane, and the curved segment define a channel passing through the cage.

A multi-component snap assembly is disclosed herein in which a snap flange has a snap nose with a contact face including a relief. The relief is configured to prevent undesirably high stress in the snap flange during assembly with another component that includes a retention pocket. A method of attaching or connecting two components with each other using a snap flange with a relief is also disclosed herein.

The present disclosure provides a bearing cage and a ball bearing. The bearing cage includes an annular backbone portion having a front side and an opposite back side and a plurality of cantilever portions extending from the front side of the backbone portion in an axially forward direction of the bearing cage. The cantilever portions are arranged along a circumference of the annular backbone portion, defining a plurality of pockets. The backbone portion has a radial thickness larger than that of the plurality of cantilever portions. Each of the plurality of cantilever portions includes two prong portions and a connection portion between the two prong portions. The bearing cage further includes one or more of a plurality of recesses formed in a radially outer side of the cantilever portions, and a plurality of grooves formed in the radially inner side of the bearing cage.

A cage segment for a rolling bearing, in particular a taper roller bearing, includes: two side plates; at least two bridges connecting the two side plates; a complete rolling element pocket being between each pair of bridges; and an incomplete rolling element pocket formed by regions of the two side plates which project beyond the bridges in a circumferential direction of the cage segment. Two end faces of each side plate are contoured differently, in particular are convex in one case and flat in the other case.

There is provided a ball bearing having a cage and balls held in the cage, the balls arranged one behind the other at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction about an axis of rotation of the ball bearing. The cage assembled from at least two cage parts joined to one another in a bonded manner and completely enclose the balls in a circumferential surface extending around the axis of rotation. A first cage part designed as a snap cage having axial webs projecting in the direction of the axis of rotation from a closed base ring and form ball pockets therebetween them, the first cage part encloses the balls along their outer circumference by more than 180°, holds the balls positively while forming an undercut and limits displacement of the balls within the circumferential surface in the direction of the at least one other second cage part.

The invention relates to a freewheeling element comprising a cage, a plurality of clamping bodies, each of the clamping bodies being received in an associated clamping body pocket formed in the cage, and a plurality of rolling bodies, each of the rolling bodies being received in an associated rolling body pocket formed in the cage, the cage having a higher resilience than the clamping bodies and the rolling bodies.

A bearing, including: an inner ring defining a first groove; an outer ring including a radially inner surface, the radially inner surface facing an axis of rotation of the bearing and defining a second groove and a third groove; a cage radially disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring; a plurality of balls retained by the cage, and disposed in the first groove, and in the second groove; and a preloaded resilient washer assembly including a rigid washer and a resilient washer including a radially outermost surface disposed in the third groove. The resilient washer urges the rigid washer away from the outer ring in an axial direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the bearing.

The present application concerns a telescopic rail comprising a first rail element, at least one further rail element and at least one rolling body cage for positioning a plurality of rolling bodies between two rail elements, wherein the rolling body cage has at least two receiving limbs having a respective plurality of through openings, wherein the receiving limbs together have a cross-section partially enclosing an internal space, and a plurality of rolling bodies received in the through openings in the receiving limbs, wherein the rolling body cage is arranged with the rolling bodies between the first rail element and the further rail element. According to the invention it is proposed that such a telescopic rail be modified to such an effect that the telescopic rail has a first group of rolling bodies and the rolling bodies of the first group are made of graphite, wherein the telescopic rail has a second group of rolling bodies and the rolling bodies of the second group are made of a material which is of greater hardness than the graphite of the rolling bodies of the first group, and wherein at least two rolling bodies of the second group are respectively received in the through openings of at least two receiving limbs.
