Abstract

A roller seating for swivel motions includes an outer ring, an inner ring and roller rolling in between which are inserted individually between spacers of a flectionally elastic cage. On at least one end of the spacers, one or more projections directed radially outward and/or radially inward have been formed which face, radially and/or axially, a revolving shoulder surface of the outer ring or the inner ring. In order to keep the play of the rollers between the spacers on the circumferential side as small as desired, each projection of the cage is arranged in such manner that it pushes against the circumference of the corresponding shoulder surface of the outer ring or the inner ring and brings the holding surfaces of the spacers against the rollers due to the elastic deformation of the cage.
