Abstract
A bearing cage for a roller bearing assembly includes an annular body defining a circumferential centerline extending therethrough. The annular body includes an outer circumferential surface, an opposing inner circumferential surface, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced roller cavities defined therein. Each roller cavity of the plurality of roller cavities is configured to receive an associated roller element. Each roller cavity includes a first radial cross-wall defined within the annular body extending from the outer circumferential surface to the inner circumferential surface. Each roller cavity further includes an opposing second radial cross-wall defined within the annular body extending from the outer circumferential surface to the inner circumferential surface. At least a portion of the first radial cross-wall and at least a portion of the second radial cross-wall are complimentary to the associated roller element.
