A bearing cage segment for a segmented bearing cage includes a plurality of walls that define a pocket configured to receive a rolling element and an insert element captively retained in an opening in a first one of the plurality of walls. The insert element may be configured to guide a rolling element retained in the bearing cage and/or be configured as a lubricant reservoir.

A cage segment defines a single pocket of a multipart rolling-element bearing cage and includes first and second circumferentially spaced side walls connected by first and second end walls. The first and second side walls and the first and second end walls are formed by at least one sheet metal segment connected at at least one joint.

A single-pocket cage segment of a multipart rolling-element bearing cage includes first and second side walls connected by first and second end walls. At least one of the first and second side walls or at least one of the first and second end walls is a semi-finished profile. The semi-finished profile may include a longitudinal channel in which a portion of an auxiliary body and/or a portion of a connector may be inserted.

The first and second side walls and the first and second end walls are formed by at least one sheet metal segment connected at at least one joint.

A bearing including a base, a plurality of slots, and a plurality of rollers disposed in the plurality of slots. At least one of the plurality of slots may be configured to retain a first roller and a second roller of the plurality of rollers at different skewing angles. Methods for manufacturing bearings are also described. In an embodiment, a method of manufacturing a bearing includes providing a first plurality of base layers. The first plurality of base layers may include portions of a plurality of slots and portions of a plurality of cooling channels. The method may include inserting a roller in at least one of the portions of the plurality of slots and providing a second plurality of base layers.

A cage segment is for a rolling-element bearing cage, particularly for large rolling-element bearings. The cage segment includes a first side element and a second side element that are connected by a first bridge and a second bridge. At least one pocket is formed between the first and second bridges which is suitable for receiving at least one rolling element. The cage segment is manufactured from sheet metal.

A sheet metal bearing cage segment includes a first sheet metal ring section, at least one second sheet metal ring section, and a plurality of bridges connecting the first ring section and the at least one second ring section to each other, adjacent pairs of the bridges forming pockets configured to receive at least one rolling element. At least one edge of the first ring section and/or at least one edge of the at least one second ring section and/or of one of the bridges is at least partially formed by laser cutting. Also a method of forming a sheet metal bearing cage at least partially by laser cutting.
