Abstract

A method and device for fitting an angular contact roller bearing, including an inner bearing ring having an inner race arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the inner bearing ring and inclined with respect to the axis of rotation of the bearing, and a rim delimiting said race at the smallest diameter thereof, an outer bearing ring having an outer race arranged on the inner peripheral surface of the outer bearing ring and inclined with respect to the axis of rotation of the bearing, and a rim delimiting said race at the greatest diameter thereof, and also including a plurality of roller bearing elements arranged between the bearing rings and roll on the races and are held at uniform distances from one another in the circumferential direction by a bearing cage. The outer peripheral surface of the inner bearing ring and the inner peripheral surface of the outer bearing ring are in each case cylindrical and extend outside the races at least in some sections coaxially with respect to the axis of rotation of the bearing, and the races of both bearing rings are in each case integrated conically into the cylindrical peripheral surfaces, such that the rims which are produced and in e…
