Bearing cage with lubrication channel

A roller-cage assembly comprising:

• a plurality of rolling elements;
• and
• a cage including a first radial flange, a second radial flange, and a plurality of crossbars extending therebetween that define a plurality of rolling element pockets, the plurality of rolling elements being located in at least some of the plurality of rolling element pockets, the plurality of crossbars each including lateral surfaces that support the plurality of rolling elements,
• the cage includes a radial support surface that includes at least one recess,
• the at least one recess is partially arranged on both (i) at least one of the first radial flange or the second radial flange, and (ii) at least one of the plurality of crossbars,
• the at least one recess includes (i) an axial channel that extends to an axial end face of the cage, and (ii) a circumferential channel that extends to one of the rolling element pockets, and
• the recess has a length that is between 5%-15% of a length of the cage.
