Abstract:
A chiplessly shaped ball bearing comprising an outer ring, an inner ring and bearing balls which are in rolling contact with raceways of the outer and the inner ring, a falling-apart of the bearing being prevented by a radially outward oriented projection of the inner ring that overlaps an inner diameter of the outer ring, wherein the projection is configured in the form of circumferentially uniformly spaced resilient retaining tabs which, as viewed in longitudinal cross-section, comprise an axially outer section and an axially inner section, said axially outer and inner sections being disposed angularly relative to each other and separated by a vertex, and wherein a diameter of the retaining tabs is largest at the vertex and a diameter of the axially outer section of the retaining tabs is smaller than an inner diameter of the outer ring.
