Abstract

A cage segment of a rolling bearing, which cage segment has two side plates and two webs which are fixedly connected to one another, wherein the webs extend parallel to the axis of rotation of the rolling bodies of the rolling bearing, and in which cage segment the side plates and the webs form a pocket for receiving a rolling body. In order to be able to produce and assemble a cage segment of said type in an inexpensive manner, and in order to be able to ensure operation without jamming in an associated rolling bearing, it is provided that the two side plates on both sides of the pocket extend in a circumferential direction of the rolling bearing to such an extent that the side plates together with in each case one of the two webs form in each case one half-pocket for receiving a directly adjacent rolling body.
