  • Split bearing cages
    Patent number: 5388918
    Abstract: A split bearing cage assembly comprising two cage parts assembled and held together by means of components in the form of dowels (3) extending through and located in apertures through both cage parts. The apertures are located and aligned such that, when the dowels are inserted into the apertures, the relative alignment between the dowels is such as to present resistance to the separation of the two cage parts so assembled. The apertures can be straight drilled holes and the dowels can be aligned so as to lie on the surface of a cone.
