Abstract

A tolerance ring made of polymeric material arranged between a radial rolling bearing and a seating on a shaft or in the bore of a housing, wherein the tolerance ring bears against a radially directed surface of the seating on the shaft or housing bore in at least one axial direction and comprises a radially directed surface against which a bearing ring of the rolling bearing bears in the same axial direction with an end face, characterized in that the radially directed surface of the seating and the end face of the bearing ring do not overlap radially which avoids axial overloading.
