Claim:
1. A method for manufacturing a rolling-element bearing assembly, comprising: providing a first bearing ring having a first rolling-element bearing of a cylindrical configuration, a second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing, and rolling elements of the first rolling-element bearing; rotating the first bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing relative to the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing; joining together the first bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing, the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing and the rolling elements of the first rolling-element bearing while the first bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing is rotating relative to the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing; and connecting the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing to a bearing ring of a second rolling-element bearing with a spacer disposed between the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing and the bearing ring of the second rolling-element bearing by bonding while the first bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing is rotating relative to the second bearing ring of the first rolling-element bearing, wherein the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring are rotated relative to each other and relative to an assembly line wherein joining and connecting occur sequentially or simultaneously wherein the second inner ring with rolling-elements disposed thereon and held by a cage are pushed into the first bearing ring during rotation, and pressed against the spacer to be connected.
