Abstract

A method for final assembly of a thrust bearing of the type including an annular roller cage retained within an annular thrust race by means of preformed rigid projections on an outer flange of the thrust race which extend over an outer rim of the roller cage, whereby the roller cage is assembled within the rigid projections by controlled elastic deformation of the parts without any deformation of the rigid projections themselves being necessary.
