Abstract
A comb-shaped cage for use in a roller bearing having one circular portion axially opposed to the end surface of each of rollers and a plurality of bar portions protruding from one or both axial sides of the circular portion and arranged circumferentially opposed to the rolling surface of each rollers is disclosed. It is designed so as to satisfy the condition 0.2≦(I1′/I3′)≦2.5, wherein I1′ expresses the moment of inertia of area for the circular portion relative to a neutral axis parallel with the longitudinal direction of the bar portion and I3′ expresses the moment of inertia of area for the bar portion relative to a neutral axis parallel with the circumferential direction of the cage. This enables to improve the strength of the cage without lowering the load capacity of the bearing to which the cage is assembled.
