Abstract

A ball bearing arrangement for longitudinal movement on a shaft or the like comprising a sleeve-shaped cage having a plurality of outwardly directed, axially aligned recesses, in each of which a raceway plate is inserted. Each raceway plate has a closed raceway formed thereon. An endless row of balls is arranged between each raceway plate and the cage. The cage has a plurality of guideways connecting the recesses with the cage bore and guiding the load-bearing balls. The angular distances between the load-bearing balls of adjacent endless rows are unequal. The raceway plates are interchangeable. Therefore, in the construction of each variation only a new cage need be provided.
