Abstract
A bearing cage () for a rolling-element bearing is split in the circumferential direction along at least one cutting line (--) between a first and a second bearing cage section (--). A projection () and a corresponding opening () are respectively formed on opposing bordering surfaces (--) of the cutting line between the first and second bearing cage sections, and are configured to fix the bordering surfaces to each other in three directions upon meshing of the projection with the opening. A main axis (--) of projection and opening extends at an angle (α) oblique to the rotational axis () of the bearing cage.
