Abstract:
The present invention relates to a bearing arrangement (104) connectable to a shaft (102), the bearing arrangement comprising a bearing (105, 105′) comprising a plurality of rolling elements (110) arranged to rotate relative to an inner raceway (302) for said bearing arrangement; and a ring shaped contact element (114, 114′) having an extension in an axial direction thereof, the ring shaped contact element further comprising a first contact surface (402) adapted to face the plurality of rolling elements, wherein an inner diameter of the ring shaped contact element at the axial position of the first contact surface has a larger diameter in comparison to a diameter (412) of the inner raceway, such that a continuous radial gap (414) is provided in the circumferential direction between the ring shaped contact element and the inner raceway when the bearing arrangement is connected to the shaft, wherein the radial gap (414) is arranged to be provided in fluid communication with a lubricating flow channel (306) of the shaft when the bearing arrangement.
