The annular members of the retainer are provided with cantilever projections each positioned at a radially outward portion of each space between adjacent rollers in opposed relation to beam portions connecting the annular members with the projections extending between the peripheral end surfaces of the adjacent rollers for retaining the rollers in pockets formed by the annular members and the beam portions.
