Abstract
A journal bearing comprises one or two sets of rotary bodies, i.e. rollers and/or balls, guided in a cage structure of resilient resinous material with two axially spaced annular flanges snap-fitted into respective grooves of triangular cross-section which are formed in an outer and/or an inner race. The cage structure may comprise a single annular cage with apertures receiving the rotary bodies, a pair of such cages, or two axially spaced crenelated rings. Upon engagement of the two flanges in their grooves, the cage structure, race or races and rotary bodies form a unitary assembly.
