Abstract
A comb-caged thrust bearing in which a circular-shaped ring or circular-shaped segments are provided for an axial two-row roller race that carries rollers in a large centrally-open roller bearing. The ring or segments form a web with radially oppositely-lying comb stages for holding and guiding the rollers. These comb stages of the web enclose the rollers along three sides of the rollers. Two of those enclosed sides are along oppositely-lying axial lines on the periphery of the rollers. The third enclosed side corresponds to one end of the roller and along a diameter thereof. This diameter has ends connected to the oppositely-lying axial lines on the periphery of the rollers. The other end of the rollers is left free and is not enclosed by the comb stages.
