Arc-shaped segment for assembling a segmented cage, cage and bearing

Abstract

The present disclosure provides an arc-shaped segment (1) for assembling a segmented bearing cage. An arc length L and a radian angle θ of the arc-shaped segment (1) satisfy the following relationship: 360L/πD−20°≤θ≤360L/πD+30° with D being a diameter of the segmented bearing cage. The arc length L refers to an arc length corresponding to the radian angle θ of the arc-shaped segment (1). The present disclosure also provides a segmented bearing cage comprising a plurality of arc-shaped segments (1) as mentioned herein. And the present disclosure provides a bearing comprising the segmented bearing cage. After being assembled in the bearing, a plurality of arc-shaped segments abut on or connect with each other, to form a complete cage. Relevant structures and dimensions of the arc-shaped segments can be designed according to the diameter of the interested bearing and the actual needs.
