Abstract
A cage for a bearing, including: a first annular segment; a second annular segment located radially inwardly of the first annular segment; a vane connected to the first annular segment and to the second annular segment and including a first axial end facing at least partly in a first axial direction parallel to an axis of rotation of the cage and a second axial end facing at least partly in a second axial direction, opposite the first axial direction, the second axial end off-set from the first axial end in a circumferential direction around the axis of rotation; and a curved surface connected to the first annular segment and the second annular segment and arranged to retain a ball of the bearing. The first annular segment, the second annular segment, the vane, and the curved segment define a channel passing through the cage.
