Abstract:
1. A method for fixing a bearing ring on or in a component, comprising: providing a bearing ring having a first side and a second side spaced axially from the first side and a circumferential side extending from the first side to the second side; providing a circumferential groove in the circumferential side, the circumferential groove having a first end axially inward of the first side and a second end axially inward of the second side, and a groove bottom between the first side and the second side, the groove bottom being inset from the circumferential side and the groove bottom having at least one receiving area inset relative to the groove bottom, providing an adhesive containing a foaming agent that is activatable to increase the volume of the adhesive, applying the adhesive to the groove bottom, the adhesive being sticky when the adhesive is applied to the groove bottom, allowing the adhesive to pre-cure on the groove bottom until the adhesive is no longer sticky, joining the bearing ring and the component in a desired relative position, and activating the foaming agent so that the adhesive increases in volume and produces an adhesive bond between the bearing ring and the component.
