The cage for a rolling bearing intended to ensure the circumferential spacing of a row of balls is provided. The cage provides at least two groups of pockets for the balls each provided with means for axially retaining the cage on the associated ball. A first range of axial play is provided between the pockets of a first of the at least two groups and associated balls. A second range of axial play is provided between the pockets of a second of the at least two groups and associated balls. The values of the ranges are different from each other.

Cage for a bearing, in particular for a bearing of an electrical steering system of a motor vehicle

Retaining cage for balls of a rolling bearing, comprising an annular shoulder () extended axially by projecting portions () defining between them sockets () for the balls, emerging radially on either side of the cage. The cage was made from a metal and the surface of each socket () is designed to cooperate with one of the balls and is defined by an imaginary cylinder with an axis oriented radially and cut by the plane axially delimiting the cage on the side opposite the shoulder () so as to form an axial opening of the socket, the width of this opening being smaller than the diameter of the said imaginary cylinder.
