A rolling-element bearing assembly includes an inner race and an outer race and a plurality of rolling elements between inner and outer races, the rolling elements being mounted in pockets between axial bridges of a cage having first and second axial side rings. One or both of the side rings has at least one corrugated surface, and the corrugations project axially and/or radially.

Cage for crankshaft bearing assembly

A split bearing cage for a rolling-element bearing assembly includes a first bearing cage segment and a second bearing cage segment each having two side ring sections axially spaced apart by a plurality of bridges. Adjacent pairs of the bridges define rolling-element receiving pockets for receiving rolling elements of the rolling-element bearing assembly and for holding the rolling elements spaced apart from each other and for guiding the rolling elements. The first bearing cage segment is connected to the second bearing cage segment via a swivel joint that may be formed of a bolt element on a first end of the first bearing cage segment and an at least partial eyelet on the first end of the second bearing cage segment.
