Cage segment of a rolling bearing
First Claim
1. A cage segment of a rolling bearing, the cage segment comprising:
- two side plates and two connecting pieces that are connected rigidly to each other,the connecting pieces being adapted to extend parallel to an axis of rotation of a rolling body of the rolling bearing,the side plates and the connecting pieces form a pocket that is adapted to hold a rolling body,the two side plates extend on both sides of the pocket in a direction that is adapted to be a circumferential direction of the rolling bearing with a free protruding length RL>
½
WKD so far that the side plates form, together with one of the two connecting pieces, a half pocket on each end for holding a directly adjacent rolling body, and WKD is adapted to correspond to a diameter of the rolling body inserted into the half pocket.

Abstract
A cage segment of a rolling bearing, which cage segment has two side plates and two webs which are fixedly connected to one another, wherein the webs extend parallel to the axis of rotation of the rolling bodies of the rolling bearing, and in which cage segment the side plates and the webs form a pocket for receiving a rolling body. In order to be able to produce and assemble a cage segment of said type in an inexpensive manner, and in order to be able to ensure operation without jamming in an associated rolling bearing, it is provided that the two side plates on both sides of the pocket extend in a circumferential direction of the rolling bearing to such an extent that the side plates together with in each case one of the two webs form in each case one half-pocket for receiving a directly adjacent rolling body.

12. A rolling bearing comprising:
-
an outer ring arranged coaxially above an inner ring and rolling bodies arranged radially therebetween; a cage comprised of a plurality of cage segments, each said cage segment including; two side plates and two connecting pieces that are connected rigidly to each other and define a pocket, the connecting pieces extending parallel to an axis of rotation of said one of the rolling bodies located in said pocket, the two side plates extend on both sides of the pocket in a circumferential direction of the rolling bearing with a free protruding length on each side such that the side plates form, together with one of the two connecting pieces, a U-shaped half pocket on each end for holding one of the rolling bodies located between adjacent ones of the cage segments; and the cage segments are arranged directly one behind the other viewed in the circumferential direction of the rolling bearing. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
