TWO-PART BEARING CAGE COMPRISING MULTIPLE LUGS WHICH FORM RETAINING SHELLS, PROJECT OUTWARDS FROM TWO ANNULAR BODIES INTO THE INTERIOR AND FORM FREE AREAS FOR LUBRICANT, AND BALL BEARING COMPRISING A BEARING CAGE OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to a two-part bearing cage for a ball bearing, comprising a first and a second annular body (1a, 1b) having a plurality of retaining shells (2) on their opposing end faces. The two annular bodies (1a, 1b) have an identical design and can be mounted opposite each other in such a way that the retaining shells (2) form pockets (3) for receiving and guiding rolling bodies (4). In addition, the number of pockets (3) corresponds to the number of rolling bodies (4). According to the invention, the individual pockets (3) are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction in such a way that a free area (5) for receiving lubricant is formed between two pockets (3). Two retaining shells (2) and the base of a pocket combine to form one individual pocket (3). The invention also relates to a ball bearing comprising a two-part bearing cage of this type.
