Abstract:
1. A radial rolling bearing, comprising: an outer bearing ring having an inner face with a groove-shaped raceway incorporated into the inside face that has a depth and a width and is delimited by two linearly parallel axial rims; an inner bearing ring having an outer face with a groove-shaped raceway incorporated into the inside face that has a depth and a width and is delimited by two linearly parallel axial rims; and spherical rollers arranged between the bearing rings, the spherical rollers each have two side faces flattened symmetrically from a basic spherical shape, are arranged parallel to one another and are held at uniform distances from one another in a circumferential direction, the spherical rollers having between the side faces a width of about 70% of a diameter of the basic spherical shape and rolling with running surfaces in the raceways with an overall contact surface of the spherical rollers with the raceways amounting to about 45% of a circumference of the basic spherical shape of the spherical rollers, wherein at least one of axial rim of at least one of the bearing rings has a reduced radial height such that the radial bearing can be equipped with an increased number of the spherical rollers by an axial mounting via an enlarged clearance provided by the axial rim which has reduced radial height.
