Split cage for rolling elements

A rolling element cage made particularly of polymeric material in which rolling elements are guided in pockets and which is split at at least one point of its periphery, the cage ends delimiting the separating gap being formed by crossbars which comprises projections and corresponding recesses arranged alternately in the axial direction on the crossbars which form the cage ends which fix these cage ends at least in the axial direction by interlocking, characterized in that the recesses in the crossbar forming the repective cage and extend into the adjacent pocket and, when the separating gap is closed, the projections projecting into the recesses extend at the most up to the delimiting surface of the pocket facing the cage end.
