Abstract

An outer ring for a rolling-element bearing includes a first region having a first diameter on an outer surface of the outer ring, a second region on the outer surface of the outer ring, the second region having a second diameter larger than the first diameter, a circumferential groove at a boundary between the first region and the second region, and a filler in the groove. The filler is configured such that a temperature compensation ring can be mounted to the outer ring at the first region so that it abuts on an axial end of the second region, the temperature compensation ring having an inner diameter, at least in the region which is disposed over the groove in the radial direction, that corresponds to the outer diameter of the first region.
