ABSTRACT:
A polymer cage for a tapered roller bearing has the usual large and small end rings and bridges which connect the end rings to form pockets which receive the tapered rollers, so that the rollers are spaced properly and further will be held against the cone when the cone is removed from the cup. The cage, however, is constructed such that when it and the rollers are subjected to a jet of high velocity air, the cage and the roller set will not spin rapidly around the cone. This is achieved by detaching one of the bridges from one of the end rings so that the bridge and the rollers adjacent to the bridge will move outwardly during rotation or by providing at least one of the bridges with an outwardly directed rib. In either case, the balance of the cage is disrupted and its wind resistance is increased. As a result, the cage will not revolve at a high velocity when subjected to a jet of air.
