Abstract

A rolling bearing, which has a shoulder loose or separately mounted shoulder ring aiding assembly capacity in defined structural forms of rolling bearings or which adjusts axial play of rolling bodies in a targeted manner by adapting the separate shoulder rings. A rolling bearing, which has a first and second bearing ring and a plurality of rolling bodies. The bearing rings being are arranged in relation to each other by the rolling bodies such that they can rotate about a common axis. A shoulder body forms an edge for axial arrangement of the rolling body and lies on a front ring supporting surface of one of the bearing rings by a front shoulder supporting surface. The shoulder supporting surface and the ring supporting surface are designed such that the axial position of the edge is modified in the event of a mutual rotation of the shoulder body and bearing ring.
