Harmony is pleasing arrangement of parts: This ball bearing comprising a cage which is made of two identical, flat, parallel rings. A metal strip starts from the ring goes down towards the center then turns 90 degrees going towards the other ring then it turns 90 degrees and meets the other ring. These metal strips (stands) which touch the inner ring are positioned with space between them. Above these stands there are holes where immovable axles are inserted. Round these axles there are rotating rollers. These rollers are small in radius so that they do not touch the inner ring or outer ring. In between these rollers there are bigger balls moving circularly that touch and hold the rotating inner ring and stationary outer ring. There is a plurality of balls and rollers that move in harmony.

A bearing cage assembly including two different cage halves formed from different materials is disclosed. The first cage half includes a first rim and a first plurality of arms extending from the first rim. The second cage half includes a second rim and a second plurality of arms extending from the second rim. The first cage half and the second cage half are fastened to each other via engagement between a plurality of first retainers of the first cage half with the plurality of second retainers of the second cage half.

A bearing cage assembly is disclosed herein that includes a first cage half formed as a plastic cage and a second cage half formed as a metal shell. The first cage half includes a first base rim and a first plurality of arms extending axially from the first base rim. The second cage half includes a second base rim and a second plurality of arms extending axially from the second base rim. The second plurality of arms are each formed by a first flange and a second flange. The first flange and the second flange are spaced apart from each other in a radial direction to define a receptacle dimensioned to receive a respective one of the first plurality of arms. Free ends of the first flange and the second flange are crimped over to retain the first cage half with the second cage half.

A bearing cage includes a first annular body having a plurality of circumferentially arranged fingers that extending axially therefrom. Each of the fingers have a tab with a first arcuate engagement surface. A second annular body has a plurality of circumferentially arranged finger-receiving holes extending axially and configured to receive the fingers. Each of the holes have an associated second arcuate engagement surface configured to engage with the first arcuate engagement surface when the fingers are received in the holes to secure the first and second bodies together to form the bearing cage.

A bearing cage assembly is disclosed. The assembly includes a stiffening ring formed from a first material, and a cage formed from a second material that is different than the first material. The cage includes a plurality of arms extending axially away from a base rim. The plurality of arms define a plurality of rolling element pockets therebetween. Each of the plurality of arms defines a slot dimensioned to receive a portion of the stiffening ring, such that the stiffening ring is secured to the cage via engagement within the slots of the plurality of arms.

A bearing assembly includes a bearing cage and a supplementary ring. The bearing cage includes an annular body and a plurality of bearing elements disposed about the annular body. The supplementary ring includes an annular collar and a plurality of retention elements. The annular collar is disposed concentrically about the bearing cage. The plurality of retention elements is connected to and extends axially from the first annular collar. Each retention element is aligned between adjacent bearing elements. The plurality of retention elements is disposed to retain the plurality of bearing elements in the annular body of the bearing cage.

A two-part ball bearing cage includes two, in particular at least substantially identical, cage parts forming an even-numbered plurality of ball pockets for receiving a corresponding number of balls having a predeterminable ball diameter. Each cage part has an annular body on which substantially evenly distributed webs are disposed in the circumferential direction to form the ball pockets. A distance in the circumferential direction between two webs that are adjacent in the circumferential direction approximately corresponds to the sum of twice the ball diameter and a width of the web in the circumferential direction. A ball bearing having the ball bearing cage and a method for assembly of the ball bearing are also provided.
