Abstract
The tapered-roller bearing has an inner race formed with a groove having a frustoconical base on which is provided an array of rollers that also engage a frustoconical surface on an outer race. A cage comprising a ring lies on one of the ledges defining grooves in the inner race and has a plurality of spacer elements engaged between the rollers and formed with ledges overreaching the groove-forming ridge of the inner race and preventing axial displacement in one direction by engagement of the bases of the pockets formed between the spacer elements with the wide ends of the tapered rollers. The spacer elements are formed at their ends distant from the ring body with enlarged heads fitted to the tapered rollers and holding them in place on the inner race.
