Abstract

A structural subassembly which has a bearing which comprises a statically arranged outer ring and a rotatably arranged inner ring, wherein the inner ring is connected for conjoint rotation to a component that is rotatable about a longitudinal axis or said inner ring forms part of such a component, and wherein the longitudinal axis defines an axial direction of the bearing. The structural subassembly furthermore comprises a housing flange of a support structure, to which flange the statically arranged outer ring is connected. Provision is made for the outer ring to be of two-part design, wherein each part of the outer ring has a connecting element which is connected to the housing flange, wherein the housing flange is arranged between the two connecting elements in the axial direction.
