Abstract
The roller thrust bearing cage and roller assembly includes an annular cage with a plurality of circumferentially spaced pockets. Each of the pockets is shaped to give proper guidance to the roller when the extended center line of the roller passes through the axis of the annular cage. Preferably each pocket has two radially, inwardly converging sides and preferably, the pockets are trapezoidal. A cylindrical roller is preferably located in each of the pockets.
