Abstract

A wheel bearing for aircraft. The bearing has a long service life, is very reliable and consists of the lowest possible number of individual parts. The wheel bearing of an aircraft engine has a rim that is rotatably mounted about an axis by a bearing arrangement which has two rolling bearings. An outer bearing housing, designed as one piece, contains the outer running surfaces of the rolling bearings. An integral component of the outer bearing housing forms part of the rim and the outer bearing housing is detachably connected to the remainder of the rim.
