A cage for a crankshaft bearing or a connecting-rod bearing of an internal combustion engine or for a compressor has a plurality of receiving pockets for guiding bearing rolling elements and has an axial width. The cage includes at least first and second cage segments, each cage segment having a segment axial width equal to the axial width of the cage and having a first end circumferentially spaced from a second end, the first cage segment first end being connected to the second cage segment second end by an interference fit and the first cage segment second end being connected to the second cage segment first end by an interference fit.
