The spacer is adapted for a rolling bearing comprising an inner ring, an outer ring and at least one row of angular contact rollers disposed between raceways and guiding faces provided on the rings. The spacer comprises opposite inner and outer partsand opposite lateral flangesrespectively adapted to come into contact with the raceways and the guiding faces of the rings. Said inner and outer parts and/or said lateral flanges comprise at least a contact surfacewith one of the rings and a concave recessdirected outwards towards said ring.

A cage for a rolling bearing including a plurality of cage segments is provided. Each segment has a first set of pockets for a first set of rollers, and a second set of pockets for a second set of rollers. The axes of the pockets of the first set of pockets are parallel with each other and the axes of the pockets of the second set of pockets are parallel with each other.

Cage with parallel pockets for rolling bearing

A spacer for a rolling bearing, most notably for use in a wind turbine is provided. The spacer is adapted for a rolling bearing having an inner ring, an outer ring and at least one row of angular contact rollers disposed between raceways provided on the rings. The spacer includes two opposite faceshaving a concave profile adapted to the rollers, each face comprising at least a contact surfacewith the associated roller having the shape of a cylinder segment. The axes of the cylinder segments of the contact surfaces converge.

A slewing bearing having two rings and rollers arranged between the rings, wherein one of the rings is provided with a through-hole for inserting the rollers for assembly and maintenance, and with a plug for closing the through-hole. The through-hole is formed as a bore including an inner portion with a smaller bore diameter and an outer portion with a larger bore diameter. The smaller diameter portion is reduced in order to facilitate the assembly, while avoiding an increased diameter in the innermost part of the thorough hole in order to secure stability and robustness.
