Rolling bearings can be designed with or without a retainer. For large bearings that are subjected to heavy loads, a retainer is often not used. Instead, the rolling elements are directly placed in the raceway. However, for smaller and medium-sized roller bearings, retainers are commonly used. The main functions of a retainer include: 1. **Even Distribution**: The retainer ensures that the rolling elements are evenly spaced around the raceway, preventing collisions and friction between them during operation. 2. **Guidance**: It guides the rolling elements along the correct path within the raceway, ensuring smooth and efficient motion. 3. **Retention**: In some bearing designs, the retainer holds the rolling elements and the inner or outer ring together, preventing the rolling elements from falling out. Retainers come in various shapes and configurations. They typically feature equidistant pockets, sometimes referred to as "windows," which are used to hold and guide the rolling elements. These pockets can have different shapes such as spherical, round, oval, rectangular, or even toothed. The size of the pocket is generally larger than the rolling element itself, and the gap between the pocket and the element allows for some radial and axial movement. This total radial movement is known as the "retainer clearance." The parts connecting the pockets are called "bridges" or "traverses." These components help strengthen the structure of the retainer and ensure its stability during operation. Keywords: Bearing Retainer
