Abstract

The present invention refers to a method for clearance adjustment in a rolling bearing having an angle of contact close to 0.degree., and of the type incorporating a number of rollers provided between and in contact with two race tracks, said rollers and race tracks having longitudinal section profiles of essentially the same radii of curvature, said rollers thereby being axially movable along the race tracks without being hindred by axial limitations at the race tracks, in order to allow relative misalignment and axial displaceability of the race tracks.
