Multi-row spherical roller bearing having cages

A multi-row spherical roller bearing comprising an inner race ring;

• an outer race ring having a substantially spherical race track;
• at least two rows of rollers;
• a cage for each row of rollers;
• and a guiding ring disposed between the rows of rollers;
• each cage including a radially outwardly extending first flange, a radially inwardly extending second flange, and a number of webs extending between the flanges;
• the webs forming roller pockets in which the rollers are disposed;
• the webs extending substantially parallel to the axes of adjacent rollers and being spaced from a center of the bearing by a first spacing which is different than a second spacing between the bearing center and the roller axes;
• the guiding ring arranged to be guided by the outer race ring;
• the cages arranged to be guided by the guiding ring;
• a first clearance being formed between each second flange and the inner race ring;
• the first clearance being greater than the sum of a first distance between the guiding ring and the outer race ring, and a second distance between the guiding ring and the first flange;
• a second clearance being formed between the web and an adjacent roller in a direction parallel to a reference line extending between the center of the adjacent roller and the center of the bearing;
• the second clearance being greater than the sum of the first and second distances.
