ABSTRACT:
An antifriction bearing having a ball bearing retainer positioned between an outer race and an inner race. A plurality of slidable wedges of the bearing conforming to the dimensions of the raceways are mounted in slots in the periphery of the retainer. In operation a centrifugal force is exerted on the retainer urging the wedges of the retainer to ride in the raceways. The wedges thus act as wipers maintaining a smooth oil film for the ball bearings regardless of the amount of lubricant in the raceways.
