Abstract

The ring (10) is provided with a tubular radially inner steel core (15) and an outer body (16) of lightweight metal formed around the core with a radial flange (17). The outer surface of the core includes a conical surface (21) which tapers in the axially inner direction, having a straight profile, when viewed in axial section. The conical surface (21) is perpendicular to a median line which bisects an axially inner raceway (11) and which corresponds to the row (13) of bearing balls against the axially inner raceway (11).
