Abstract

An axial rolling bearing with a cage (2) comprising radially directed elastic projections (7, 8) on its inner and/or outer peripheral surface, which elastic projections (7, 8) bear against the collar (6, 5) of the race discs (4, 3) under all operating conditions of the bearing so that the cage (2) is radially centered, even if the shaft lifts off in axial direction.
