A deep groove ball bearing assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes an inner bearing ring defining an inner race, an outer bearing ring defining an outer race, and a plurality of rolling elements supported on the inner race and the outer race. A shaft is supported on a radially inner surface of the inner bearing ring, and a housing is supported on a radially outer surface of the outer bearing ring. A sleeve is arranged between the radially outer surface of the outer bearing ring and a radially inner surface of the housing, and the sleeve includes a plurality of through openings.

The invention relates to a method of forming a rolling element bearing cage assembly, comprising forming one or more segments, the forming of each segment comprising: forming a supporting frame having a plurality of spaced apart openings; forming a reinforcing frame including a corresponding plurality of openings each for aligning with the openings of the supporting frame; and inserting the reinforcing frame within the supporting frame.

A cage segment for a rolling-element bearing cage includes first and second side elements connected by a bridge extending in a longitudinal direction. A first attaching element on the first side element extends away from the bridge in a first direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and a second attaching element on the second side element extends away from the bridge in a second direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The first and second attaching elements are configured to receive a wire or cable for connecting the cage segments to other cage segments, and the first attaching element is offset from the longitudinal axis in a first direction by a first distance and the second attaching element is offset from the longitudinal axis in a second direction opposite the first direction by a second distance.

A bearing cage segment for a rolling-element bearing includes at least one sliding surface on which a surface of at least one rolling element of the rolling-element bearing is rotatable, a first support element, such as an axial projection on an axial side of the cage segment having a radially open radially facing channel, at a first radial position for supporting a first band section of a band clamp during an assembling of the rolling-element bearing, and at least one second support element at a second radial position different from the first radial position for supporting a second band section of the band clamp.

The invention relates to a rolling element bearing cage formed of one or more segments, each segment comprising: a supporting frame having a plurality of spaced apart openings each for accommodating a rolling element; and a reinforcing frame, inserted within the supporting frame, having a corresponding plurality of openings each for aligning with the openings of the supporting frame.

A bearing cage for rolling element bearings, that is annular and centered on a central axis. The bearing cage provides a plurality of circumferentially adjacent pockets dedicated to receive each a rolling element. The bearing cage being split in the circumferential direction along a line of separation to define a first side and a second side that are circumferentially separated from each other. The first side and second side having fixing means to fix the first side and second side to each other such that the bearing cage can have different diameters.
