A taper roller bearing includes: an inner ring, an outer ring, a plurality of taper rollers in which a cavity portions are formed on a large end surface, and an annular cage. The cage includes a small-diameter annular portion on one axial side, a large-diameter annular portion which is positioned on the other axial side and on the outer side in the radial direction of the large flange, and a plurality of column portions. An outer diameter of an axial inner surface included in the large-diameter annular portion is greater than a diameter of a virtual circle that links outer end portions in the radial direction of the cavity portions of the plurality of taper rollers.

A rolling bearing includes an inner ring having an outer surface, an outer ring having an inner surface, a plurality of rolling elements rotatably disposed between the inner ring and the outer ring, and a retainer for retaining the rolling elements. The retainer is made of a resin material and is positioned with respect to the inner surface of the outer ring or the outer surface of the inner ring. The retainer includes a pair of annular portions axially arranged in parallel and a columnar portion coupling the annular portions. Then, the rolling bearing satisfies the following expression: .[.AI=LH.sup.3/dm≥0.025.]. .Iadd.LH.sup.3/dm.sup.2≥0.025 mm.sup.2 .Iaddend.in which H is a radial length of a section of the annular portion, L is an axial length of the same, and dm is PCD of the rolling element.

A tapered roller bearing includes: an inner ring; an outer ring; a plurality of tapered rollers in rolling contact with an inner and an outer ring raceway; and an annular cage that has a plurality of pockets for accommodating the tapered rollers. The cage has a plurality of first lateral faces respectively facing outer peripheral surfaces of the tapered rollers respectively accommodated in the plurality of pockets from a first side in a circumferential direction of the cage and a plurality of second lateral faces respectively facing the outer peripheral surfaces from a second side in the circumferential direction of the cage. The plurality of pockets includes a first pocket with a first angle as an angle formed by the first and second lateral faces, and a second pocket that has a second angle smaller than the first angle as the angle formed by the first and second lateral faces.

A cage freewheel for installation into the clamping gap of a shaft/hub connection, in particular in an e-bike drive, includes an annular cage with, following one another in the circumferential direction, bearing rollers for mounting the hub and the shaft together, and clamping bodies arranged pivotably in the cage. The clamping bodies block a relative movement between the shaft and the hub in a frictionally locking manner in one rotational direction, and allow rotation in the other rotational direction, and are spring-loaded in the coupling direction by an annular spring which extends around the row of the clamping bodies in a slot in the radially outer surface of the clamping bodies. The bearing rollers are arranged in each case in pairs in associated pockets of the cage on both sides of the annular spring. Here, the bearing rollers are received in a positively locking manner in the associated pockets.

A pivot cradle bearing (1) for an axial piston machine, including a bent cage segment (2), in which rolling bodies are guided, which are arranged between two bearing parts which can be pivoted with respect to one another, wherein a synchronization device (4), which is designed for synchronizing the relative movement of the bearing parts with the displacement of the cage segment (2), includes a pivoting lever (5) which is mounted in the cage segment (2). An articulated bearing (6) is provided for mounting the pivoting lever (5) in the cage segment (2), the articulated bearing having an asymmetrical design with respect to a tangential plane (TE) lying centrally between an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface of the cage segment (2).

Provided is a method of manufacturing a resin retainer having two annular sections. A fixed-side cavity forming mold has a first axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a first annular section of the annular sections of a resin retainer having two annular sections, and a first protruding portion protruding from the first axial mold surface. A movable-side cavity forming mold has a second axial mold surface that is in contact with an axial end surface of a second annular section of the annular sections of the resin retainer, and a second protruding portion protruding from the second axial mold surface. A slide core sliding step is performed in which slide cores are slid toward an outer diameter and pocket-forming protruding portions of the slide cores are extracted from a pocket of the retainer, and then a mold opening step is performed in which the movable-side cavity forming mold is opened relative to the fixed-side cavity forming mold.

A rolling-element bearing cage includes a plurality of pockets each configured to receive a rolling element, and retaining elements associated with each of the plurality of pockets, each of the retaining elements being configured to secure the rolling elements against falling out of the pockets in a radially inward direction while permitting the rolling elements to be inserted into the pockets in a radially outward direction.
