A method for assembly of an angular contact roller bearing, comprising an inner bearing ring having an inner raceway arranged on the outer shell surface of said inner bearing ring, at an angle to the bearing rotation axis (A L) and a shelf delimiting said raceway at its smallest diameter, an outer bearing ring having an outer raceway arranged on the inner shell surface of the outer bearing ring also at an angle to the central bearing axis (A L) and a shelf delimiting said raceway at its largest diameter, and a plurality of rolling element bodies arranged between the bearing rings (2, 6) and rolling on their raceways (4, 8), said rolling element bodies being held at regular distances from one another in the circumferential direction by a bearing cage, wherein a tangent to the outer shell surface of the inner bearing ring and a tangent to the inner shell surface of the outer bearing ring are designed, at least in the region of the raceways (4, 8), as a plane extending inversely at an angle to the bearing rotation axis (A L) and the raceways (4, 8) of both bearing rings (2, 6) are each conically embedded in said shell surfaces, so that the resulting shelves (5,9) each delimiting the raceways (4, 8) on one side are thereby integrally formed with the bearing rings (2, 6), characterised in that the angular contact roller bearing is assembled using an eccentric-swivel assembly method borrowed from the eccentric assembly method known for grooved ball bearings: a) in a first step, the outer bearing ring is placed in a receptacle in an at least approximately vertical position with its shelf-free front end face facing forwards and is slightly ovalised within its elastic limit by tensioning at a 12 o'clock line on its outer shell surface against a 6 o'clock line on its outer shell surface. b) in a second step, the rolling elements are poured, either individually or as a set of rollers that has been pre-fixed in a horseshoe shape with their larger end faces facing forwards from the shelf-free end face of the outer bearing ring, into the raceway of the outer bearing ring. c) in a third step, the inner bearing ring, with its shelf-free end face resting on an inclined plane, is automatically slidingly fed to the outer bearing ring in such a way that said inner bearing ring strikes with two opposite points of its raceway at two attachment points (21, 22) on the bearing surfaces of two rolling element bodies. d) in a fourth step, the inner bearing ring, as a result of the centrifugal force resulting from its acceleration on the inclined plane, swivels about a horizontal axis in the outer bearing ring formed between its attachment points (21, 22) on the rolling element bodies into a vertical position of said outer bearing ring, in which position the shelf of the inner bearing ring abuts at least in sections on the smaller end faces of the rolling element bodies. e) in a fifth step, the inner bearing ring is displaced into a coaxial position with respect to the outer bearing ring and the rolling element bodies in the raceways (4, 8) thereof are distributed in the bearing rings (2, 6) in a uniform circumferential manner so as to cancel the ovalisation of the outer bearing ring. a) in a first step, the outer bearing ring is placed in a receptacle in an at least approximately vertical position with its shelf-free front end face facing forwards and is slightly ovalised within its elastic limit by tensioning at a 12 o'clock line on its outer shell surface against a 6 o'clock line on its outer shell surface. b) in a second step, the rolling elements are poured, either individually or as a set of rollers that has been pre-fixed in a horseshoe shape with their larger end faces facing forwards from the shelf-free end face of the outer bearing ring, into the raceway of the outer bearing ring. c) in a third step, the inner bearing ring, with its shelf-free end face resting on an inclined plane, is automatically slidingly fed to the outer bearing ring in such a way that said inner bearing ring strikes with two opposite points of its raceway at two attachment points (21, 22) on the bearing surfaces of two rolling element bodies. d) in a fourth step, the inner bearing ring, as a result of the centrifugal force resulting from its acceleration on the inclined plane, swivels about a horizontal axis in the outer bearing ring formed between its attachment points (21, 22) on the rolling element bodies into a vertical position of said outer bearing ring, in which position the shelf of the inner bearing ring abuts at least in sections on the smaller end faces of the rolling element bodies. e) in a fifth step, the inner bearing ring is displaced into a coaxial position with respect to the outer bearing ring and the rolling element bodies in the raceways (4, 8) thereof are distributed in the bearing rings (2, 6) in a uniform circumferential manner so as to cancel the ovalisation of the outer bearing ring.
