Abstract

A bearing assembly (1) includes at least one bearing (3) that rotatably supports a cylindrical roller tube (2). A cushioning layer (5) is disposed, directly or indirectly, between a ring (4) of the bearing (3) and the cylindrical roller tube (2). At least one contact surface (6, 7) for the cushioning layer (5) extends over a defined axial distance (L) at an angle (α) to the rotational axis (A) of the bearing assembly (1).
