Abstract
A rolling bearing arrangement has two axially spaced rolling bearings with their inner rings shrunk to a shaft and their outer rings interference fit in a housing. The outer ring of one bearing engages a radial abutment surface, and a spring extends between another abutment surface and the outer ring of the other bearing. Inner and outer locating rings held on the shaft and in the housing respectively abut the inner and outer rings of the second bearing. The arrangement enables the accurate axial prestressing of the bearing by selective heating of portions of the arrangement and application of weight thereto.
