Abstract
A separator or cage for an antifriction bearing, particularly a ball bearing, wherein the separator starts as a flat strip with an edge strip on one side, and webs projecting laterally from the edge strip and defining pockets for balls between neighboring webs. The strip is bendable at reduced thickness areas along its length to form a ring for installation of the separator between the annular bearing rings. Radially projecting elastic holding noses defined on the surface of the strip at the webs engage at a race of one of the bearing rings and particularly behind a shoulder at one of the races for preventing axial emergence of the separator from between the bearing rings.
