Patent ID: 7537390

Claim:
A rolling bearing arrangement comprising at least two annular rows of bearing rolling bodies which are operable to roll around an axis of rotation of the arrangement; a first inner ring for a first row of the rolling bodies, the first inner ring having a first inner surface with a first inner diameter, the first inner ring further comprising a first radial depression; a second inner ring for a second row of the rolling bodies, the second inner ring being coaxial with the first inner ring and being positioned next to the first inner ring in a direction of the axis of rotation, the second inner ring having a second inner surface with a second inner diameter, the second inner surface being distanced from the first inner surface in the direction of the axis of rotation and the second inner diameter being greater than the first inner diameter, the second inner ring further comprising a second radial depression; a snap ring connecting the inner rings to one another, the snap ring having at least one radially projecting first engagement element at the first inner ring and at least one radially projecting second engagement element at the second inner ring, the first engagement element engaging into the radial first depression in the first inner ring radially in a direction toward the axis of rotation and the second engagement element engaging into the radial second depression in the second inner ring in a direction radially away from the axis of rotation.
