A bearing cage for large rolling-element bearings includes a first side part and a second side part and a plurality of bridge elements connecting the first and second side parts to form a plurality of cage pockets each configured to receive a rolling element. The at least one bridge element and/or the first side part and/or the second side part includes at least one opening, and an insert element is mounted in each of the at least one opening and configured to contact the rolling element.

A bearing unit includes a radially outer ring, a radially inner ring, a row of rolling bodies interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring and a cage for retaining the rolling bodies, where the cage includes a rib with a circular base and a plurality of circumferentially spaced fingers defining a plurality of pockets for holding the respective rolling bodies of the row of rolling bodies. Also, a plurality of inserts formed separately from the cage, each of the plurality of inserts being inserted inside seats of corresponding adjacent pairs of fingers of the plurality of fingers to limit circumferential deformation of the fingers.

A bearing cage assembly is disclosed that includes two sub-assemblies. Both cage sub-assemblies include a shell half formed from plastic, and defining a plurality of rolling element pockets and openings. Each sub-assembly also includes a frame half formed from metal, and including a rim and a plurality of crossbars. The shell halves are overmolded with the frame halves. The first cage sub-assembly and the second cage sub-assembly are connected to each other via insertion of the crossbars into the openings of the other sub-assembly, such that free ends of the crossbars engage the other rim.

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 bearing track cage includes a plurality of retention elements, wherein each retention element includes at least a first axial side and a second axial side, and wherein each adjacent pair of retention elements of the plurality of retention elements defines a rolling element pocket configured to retain a rolling element. A first support is slidably coupled to each of the plurality of retention elements on the first axial side thereof and a second support is slidably coupled to each of the plurality of retention elements on the second axial side thereof.

A deep groove ball bearing with a split cage includes an outer ring, an inner ring, steel balls, an upper frame body, a bearing frame, and a lower frame body. Pocket grooves are formed in the bearing frame. The bearing frame is provided with a connecting piece. A first insertion groove and a second insertion groove are formed in both side walls of the connecting piece. A connecting groove is formed in a bottom surface of each of the pocket grooves. An oil storage cavity is formed in the upper frame body. The oil storage cavity is provided with a positioning flange at an opening. The positioning flange is in insertion fit with the connecting groove. The lower frame body is provided with arc-shaped grooves at positions corresponding to the pocket grooves. A connecting seat is formed on the lower frame body.
