  • Patent number: 10641331
    Abstract: A ball cage for ball bearing includes a first race, a second race, a plurality of first ribs equiangularly arranged on the first race with a first curved groove defined between each two adjacent first ribs, and a plurality of second ribs equiangularly arranged on the second race with a second curved groove defined between each two adjacent second ribs. The first ribs are respectively and partially stacked on the second ribs so that each first curved groove is combined with one respective second curved groove to create a respective ball accommodation chamber. Thus, the ball cage can be commonly used for ball bearings lubricated with grease or oil gas to increase the convenience of use.
