Abstract

Roller bearing for supporting members with limited axial movement, consisting of bearing elements having confronting raceways and a plurality of rolling elements held in a cage between the raceways. One of the raceways is bounded by flanges defining contact surfaces. At least one end surface of the cage (3) has elastic segments (9), radially oriented sections (10) of which engage in a groove (11) in one of the bearing elements. In the terminal axial positions of the one bearing element (2) relative to the other bearing element (1), the radially oriented sections (10) of the cage (3) rest against the lateral surfaces (13) of the groove (11).
