Abstract

A bearing assembly includes at least one rolling-element bearing that includes a bearing outer ring and a bearing inner ring and rolling elements disposed therebetween. The at least one rolling-element bearing is mounted in a component with the bearing outer ring in contact with the component, and the outer bearing ring includes a first edge surface extending between a rolling-element raceway and a radial end surface of bearing ring, and/or a second edge surface extending between an axial outer fitting surface and the radial end surface of the bearing ring. The component includes, on a surface facing the first and/or second edge surface, at least one material accumulation that interacts with the first and/or second edge surface.
