| [Damage to cage] |
| Since cages are made of low hardness
materials, external pressure and contact with other parts can easily
produce flaws and distortion. In some causes, these are aggravated
and become chipping and cracks. Large chipping and cracks are often
accompanied by deformation, which may reduce the accuracy of the cage
itself and may hinder the smooth movement of rolling elements. |
