Abstract
A technique for calculating the life span of a rolling bearing with a polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) cage taking into consideration the wear and failure of the cage has been considered. The stress-strain state of a PTFE bearing cage has been studied. Based on the results of the study, conclusions have been drawn about the roller bearing life.
