Abstract
A bearing assembly is disclosed for an exhaust gas turbocharger for rotatably supporting a rotor shaft on a bearing housing, having at least one bearing outer ring of a radial bearing, which at least one bearing outer ring is placed in a bearing bore of the bearing housing and consists of at least one part, and at least one securing element, which consists of at least one part and by which the bearing outer ring is axially fastened in relation to the bearing housing. In order to simplify the assembly of a corresponding bearing assembly and to reduce the production costs thereof, at least one circumferential groove, according to the invention, is arranged on an outer lateral surface of a compressor-side end section of the bearing outer ring, in which at least one groove the securing element engages, and the securing element is arranged outside of the bearing bore on the compressor side and is supported at least indirectly on a compressor-side end of the bearing housing.
