Abstract

A bearing assembly is configured to be axially mountable in a support roller as a single structural unit. The support roller includes an at least partially hollow-cylindrical support roller shell and a support roller shaft. The bearing assembly comprises a mounting element configured to axially slide on the support roller shaft for mounting the bearing assembly in the support roller, a roller bearing having an inner ring fixedly supported on the mounting element, a support body radially surrounding the roller bearing, a cushioning layer radially surrounding the support body, and a sleeve radially surrounding the cushioning layer. The sleeve is configured to slidably contact an inner cylindrical surface of the support roller shell.
