Abstract:
1. A bearing assembly comprising: a housing element having an accommodating bore, and an outer ring press-fit in the accommodating bore, wherein the outer ring has an axial cross-section thereof that defines two first axial regions, which each define a separate outer raceway of the outer ring, a second axial region is located between and adjacent to the two first axial regions of the outer ring, each of the two first axial regions having a separate row of rolling bearing elements, the accommodating bore and the outer circumference of the outer ring are configured such that at ambient temperature (T wherein the outer ring is configured such that a first radial thickness of each of the two first axial regions does not exceed a second radial thickness of the second axial region, the first radial thickness of the two first axial regions decreasing in a tapered continuous fashion in a direction axially away from the second axial region.
