Abstract: A process for producing a graphite cage for an anti-friction bearing, which cage holds a plurality of anti-friction elements. A cage injection molding is injected in an injection molding process from a mass which contains carbon mesophase powder, and this cage injection molding is subsequently heat-treated in order to transform the carbon from the mesophase into pure graphite.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cage (1) for rolling bodies (6), in particular a needle cage, consisting of two side rings (2, 3) spaced apart from one another in the axial direction and having end faces, the side rings (2, 3) being connected, to form pockets (5) receiving rolling bodies (6), to transverse webs (4) spaced apart from one another uniformly in the circumferential direction. The cage (1) is distinguished in that the end faces at least partially follow a course which deviates at an angle of inclination (?) of 90° with respect to a bearing axis (9). This ensures a particularly effective lubrication between the end faces of the cage (1) and the connecting structure, this lubrication being important particularly in the case of bearings subjected to high loads.
