Abstract

A bearing assembly includes a bearing unit configured to support a rotatable component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a stationary bearing ring and a rotatable bearing ring, the rotatable bearing ring being connectable to the rotatable component and the stationary bearing ring being connectable to the stationary component such that the stationary bearing ring and the stationary component are rotationally fixed. The stationary component or a connecting element between the stationary component and the stationary bearing ring comprises a plurality of layers which may be formed by an additive manufacturing process. Also a method of forming the bearing assembly.
