Abstract
A rolling bearing, having, for example, cylindrical rollers, is provided, between an inner ring and an outer ring, with a retaining structure for retaining the rollers. The retaining structure includes an annular retainer having a number of seats for click-in insertion of the rollers, and from an end edge of which projects a radially outer flange having a sliding surface cooperating in sliding manner with a radially inner surface of the outer ring of the bearing to support the annular retainer in a radially inner position with respect to the outer ring and so prevent the annular retainer from sliding against the rollers. The seats for the rollers each have a pair of axial projections for compensating any axial clearance between the rollers and the respective seats.
