Abstract

A multi-row bearing assembly includes first and second rolling-element bearings having first and second bearing rings and first and second rows of rolling elements therebetween, respectively, each ring having exactly one guide flange. An intermediate space exists between the first and second rows of rolling elements, and a first side of each row of rolling elements faces the intermediate space and a second side of each row of the rolling elements is remote from the intermediate space. The guide flanges of the first and third bearing rings guide the first sides of the rolling elements, and the guide flanges of the second and fourth bearing rings guide the second sides of the rolling elements.
