Abstract

A method and device for assembly of an angular contact roller bearing, including an inner bearing ring having an inner raceway arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the inner bearing ring, at an angle to the bearing rotation axis, and a rim delimiting said raceway at the smallest diameter thereof, an outer bearing ring having an outer raceway arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the outer bearing ring, also at an angle to the bearing rotation axis, and a rim delimiting the raceway at the largest diameter thereof, and a plurality of rolling element bodies, arranged between the bearing rings and rolling on the raceways thereof held at regular distances in the circumferential direction by 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 flat at least in the region of the raceways, and extend at inverse to the bearing rotation axis, and the raceways of both bearing rings are each conically formed in the peripheral surfaces such that the rims thus produced and delimiting each of the raceways on one side are consequently each integral with the bearing rings. The bearing is as…
