Abstract

A bearing assembly for a cylindrical device, which is capable of assuring rapid exchange of the cylindrical device, comprising a bearing housing surrounding an antifriction bearing cage provided with roll bodies, wherein a circular opening remains open, through which the roll bodies protrude in order to be supported at the cylindrical device to be borne. The bearing housing is subdivided into two parts or housing members in a plane passing through the axis, so that one of the parts or housing members can be swiveled against the other. Also, the antifriction bearing cage is subdivided, namely into individual cages loosely joined together.
