A roller bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rollers arranged between said outer ring and said inner ring; and a plurality of retainer segments having a plurality of column parts extending in a direction along a shaft so as to form a pocket for holding said roller. A connection part extends in a circumferential direction so as to connect the plurality of column parts, and continuously lined with each other in the circumferential direction between said outer ring and said inner ring, in which a corner of a circumferential end face is chamfered. Also provided is a spacer arranged between the circumferentially arranged first retainer segment and last retainer segment, wherein a chamfered part is provided at a corner of a circumferential spacer end face of the space. The roller bearing can be used in a main shaft support structure of a wind-power generator.

An assembly tool (104) for positioning the rolling elements (150, 155) of a bearing assembly (100) during a preloading operation includes a roller seating actuator (400) configured to be removably coupled to a portion of the bearing assembly during the preloading operation, and a roller seating ring (420) movably coupled to the roller seating actuator. The roller seating ring includes a distal end (440) configured to engage an end of a rolling element of the bearing assembly. A biasing member (460) is positioned between the roller seating actuator and the roller seating ring and biases the roller seating ring away from roller seating actuator such that the distal end of the roller seating ring engages and presses the rolling element axially into engagement with a rib (145) of a race of the bearing assembly.

A cage of a roller bearing includes at least two cage segments, wherein each cage segment is formed from two side pieces, which are disposed at an axial distance from one another, and from a plurality of webs that are circumferentially distanced from each other and that connect the side pieces in the axial direction, wherein each cage segment forms an arc of a given arc length, the plurality of webs includes a center web, which maintains a distance of half the given arc length from the circumferential ends of the respective cage segment, and wherein the center web is penetrated by a bore the center axis of which approximately runs through the center of gravity of the cage segment, and which is configured to accommodate a radially outwardly directed moving device in a releasable manner.

A cage of a cage and rollers includes engaging projecting portions that are provided on outer circumferential surfaces of rim portions, the engaging projecting portions being configured to be elastically deformed when the cage is inserted into a support hole of a rocker arm to thereby allow the cage to be contracted in diameter and to be elastically restored to be brought into engagement with the rocker arm after the cage is inserted in the support hole, to thereby position the cage properly in relation to an axial direction relative to the rocker arm. The cage and rollers can be assembled to the rocker arm while being positioned properly in relation to the axial direction so that the cage and rollers and the rocker arm can be formed into a rocker arm unit, and the cage and rollers can easily be assembled to the rocker arm.

A roller bearing comprises an outer ring, an inner ring, a plurality of rollers arranged between said outer ring and said inner ring; and a plurality of retainer segments having a plurality of column parts extending in a direction along a shaft so as to form a pocket for holding said roller. A connection part extends in a circumferential direction so as to connect the plurality of column parts, and continuously lined with each other in the circumferential direction between said outer ring and said inner ring, in which a corner of a circumferential end face is chamfered. Also provided is a spacer arranged between the circumferentially arranged first retainer segment and last retainer segment, wherein a chamfered part is provided at a corner of a circumferential spacer end face of the space. The roller bearing can be used in a main shaft support structure of a wind-power generator.

A bearing cage for retaining rolling elements of a rolling element bearing, the bearing cage having at least one first ring structure to which at least one first cage bar is connected. The bearing cage also comprises a second ring structure to which at least one second cage bar is connected, whereby the at least one second ring structure is arranged to be located radially inwards of the at least one first ring structure.

A single-split cage for holding a plurality of rolling elements stably by eliminating the difference in the strength between split regions, by maintaining the strength of the entire cage uniform in the circumferential direction and by maintaining the dimensional accuracy between the split regions constant at the time of molding. A split section for splitting at one portion in the circumferential direction is formed at regions extending between pockets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, engagement sections being engageable with each other are provided at the circumferential central position between the pockets and on a one-side split face and the other-side split face formed by splitting the regions. In a state in which both the engagement sections are engaged with each other, predetermined clearances are formed between the one-side split face and the other-side split face and between the engagement sections.

A single-split cage for continuously holding a plurality of rolling elements stably for a long time. A split section for splitting at one portion in the circumferential direction is formed at regions extending between pockets adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, engagement sections being engageable with each other are provided at the circumferential central position between the pockets and on a one-side split face and the other-side split face formed by splitting the regions, and in a state in which both the engagement sections are engaged with each other, predetermined clearances are formed between the one-side split face and the other-side split face and between the engagement sections.

The occurrence of wear during use in areas of contact between residual protrusions 22a and opposing end surfaces due to residual protrusions 22a that remain on end surfaces in the circumferential direction of retainer elements 15b after shearing of small cross-sectional area sections is prevented. Convex sections 23, the tip ends thereof being flat, are provided on one end surface in the circumferential direction of retainer elements 15 so as to protrude in the circumferential direction. The arrangement, shape and dimensions of the small cross-sectional area sections 17a and the convex sections 23 are regulated so that when the retainer elements 15b are aligned with each other in the axial direction, and the tip-end sections of the convex sections 23 come in contact with the other end surfaces in the circumferential direction of the retainer elements 15b, spaces 24 in the circumferential direction exist between the tip-end sections of the residual protrusions 22a and the end surfaces in the circumferential direction of the retainer elements 15b.
