Abstract: A non-locating bearing assembly includes a bearing unit configured to support a rotatable component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a first stationary bearing ring and a second rotatable bearing ring. The rotatable bearing ring is fixedly connectable to the rotatable component, and a bearing carrier is attached to the stationary bearing ring in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner by a combination of a friction fit and an interference fit. The bearing carrier is configured to be fixedly connected to the stationary component.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bearing cage includes providing a bearing cage blank made from a metal plate, the cage blank including a cylindrical flange extending from a disk-shaped wall, punching a plurality of first openings through the cylindrical flange in a first direction to form a plurality of snap surfaces, and punching a plurality of second openings through the cylindrical wall in a second direction opposite the first direction to form a plurality of pockets. The second openings intersect at least two of the first openings, and punching the pockets removes a body of material from between the at least two of the first openings. Also a bearing cage formed by the method.
