ABSTRACT:
A bearing wherein the size of the rotatable components, i.e. balls or needle rollers, can be maximized while the cage dimensions are minimized, thus aiding overall design for a mechanical device in which the bearing is located. The bearing comprises a cage constructed of flat flexible material, the cage having a generally U-shaped transverse cross-section with a number of rotatable components located between the arms of the generally U-shaped cross-section cage, each component extending partially through aligned apertures in each of said arms. When inserted between two facing helical surfaces and in engagement with both the cage automatically conforms to the pitch of the helical surfaces without the necessity of being pre-shaped to conform thereto.
