Abstract

A mounting sleeve particularly for the loose annular parts of a multi-row anti-friction bearing wherein the rows of rolling bodies are toward the axial ends of the outer ring. The mounting sleeve is approximately U-shaped with a slit opening of about 90.degree. in it extending along the sleeve. At axially opposite ends of the U-shaped sleeve are formed radially inwardly directed flanges which extend over a smaller circumferential angle than the sleeve, e.g. over an angle of about 180.degree., and are each symmetric around the U-shaped sleeve. Projections on the axial insides of the flanges rest axially either against the row of rolling bodies or against the separators for the row of rolling bodies. A radially outward projection opposite the slit opening in the sleeve aids in installation and removal of the sleeve.
