Abstract

Angular contact roller bearings are disclosed. The bearing may include an inner bearing ring with an inner raceway, which is arranged on the outer shell surface of said inner bearing ring so as to be oblique with respect to the bearing axis of rotation (AL), and comprising a rim which delimits said raceway at its smallest diameter. An outer bearing ring has an outer raceway, which is arranged on the inner shell surface of said outer bearing ring likewise so as to be oblique with respect to the bearing axis of rotation (AL), and a rim which delimits said raceway at its greatest diameter. A multiplicity of roller-type rolling bodies are arranged between the bearing rings and roll on the raceways of said bearing rings and are held with uniform spacings to one another in a circumferential direction by means of a bearing cage.A tangent to the outer shell surface of the inner bearing ring and a tangent to the inner shell surface of the outer bearing ring are, at least in the region of the raceways, of planar form so as to run in opposite directions obliquely with respect to the bearing axis of rotation (AL). The raceways of the two bearing rings are each formed in conical fashion into sa…
