A roller bearing cage is disclosed in which a pair of semicircular cage halves
is assembled with their mating ends thereof coming into abutment against each other.
The mating ends are chamfered off to stave off bearing failure resulting from any
deformation that might occur at the areas nearby the mating ends owing to large
centrifugal force imposed by high-speed engines. The roller bearing cage may be
completed by only joining together the semicircular cage halves with their diametral
mating ends coming into engagement with one another. Each of the semicircular cage
halves is composed of axially opposing semicircular rims and cage bars interposed
between the rims, thus helping ensure stiffness with even weighing less. The chamfering
operation is done to make even any outer peripheral areas nearby the mating ends,
preparatory to cutoff operation to split a cylindrical cage stock into two halves.
This helps the process management of material-removal work to make the chamfered
even areas.
