Claim 8:
9. A non-locating bearing assembly comprising:
a bearing unit configured to support a rotating component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a first stationary bearing ring and a second rotatable bearing ring, the rotatable bearing ring being fixedly connectable to the rotating component and the stationary bearing ring having a circumferential groove formed in an inner surface of the stationary ring, and
a bearing carrier having an axially-extending opening and to which the stationary bearing ring is attached by a connecting element including an annular body disposed adjacent to an axial end of the stationary bearing ring and having at least one tab or at least one flange frictionally engaged with the circumferential groove in the inner surface of the stationary ring and at least one projection protruding into the axial opening in the bearing carrier so as to allow axial movement of the stationary ring while at least resisting rotation of the stationary ring,
wherein the bearing carrier includes a flange configured to be fixedly connected to the stationary component.
