Cage for crankshaft bearing assembly

A rolling-element bearing assembly comprising:

• a radially inner race surface,
• a radially outer race surface, and
• a plurality of rolling elements disposed between the radially inner race surface and the radially outer race surface and received in a cage, the cage including a first side ring and a second side ring axially spaced from the first side ring by a plurality of bridges, wherein
• the bridges form pockets for receiving and spacing and guiding the rolling elements, wherein
• the radially inner race surface is disposed on a first component and the radially outer race surface is disposed on a second component, wherein
• the first component and the second component are rotatably supported with respect to each other, wherein
• the rolling-element bearing assembly is bordered axially by side walls of the first component and/or the second component, which side walls extend at least partially radially beyond the race surfaces, and wherein
• the first side ring or the second side ring or both the first side ring and the second side ring includes at least one corrugated surface.
