Abstract

A rapidly rotating shaft for a wire-rope-stranding machine or the like, comprising a plurality of tubular sections interconnected by flanged coupling sleeves, has a journal bearing for each coupling sleeve whose inner race is unitary with that sleeve while its outer race is a ring closely surrounded by a cylindrical housing. The ring and the housing are provided with aligned bores for the introduction of lubricant; an annular cage between the two races, having a multiplicity of peripherally spaced pockets engaged by respective bearing rollers, is provided with apertures between these pockets facilitating the passage of the lubricant to the inner race.
