Abstract

A bearing assembly comprises a bearing enabling a rotatable body to rotate about a rotational axis relative to a stationary body. The bearing includes a bearing inner ring and a bearing outer ring, each having at least first and second roller body tracks provided in or on non-parallel surfaces of the ring. The respective roller body tracks of the bearing outer ring are aligned with the respective roller body tracks of the bearing inner ring and a row of roller bodies is disposed between each of the respective sets of roller body tracks. At least one of the rows of roller bodies comprises one of tapered rollers and spherical rollers, at least one of the rows of roller bodies supports at least axial forces and at least one of the rows of the roller bodies supports at least radial forces.
