Abstract:
The invention relates to a first bearing arrangement (1) and a method for the manufacture thereof, with a first bearing ring (3) forming a structural unit (16) with a radially inwardly directed axial projection (11) with a radially outwardly directed resilient element (13) and a first running surface (5), and a second bearing ring (2) with a radially outwardly arranged axial projection (10) with a radially inwardly directed resilient element (12), with a second running surface (4), and a single-piece rolling body cage (6) which receives distributed over the circumference rolling bodies (8) which roll on the running surfaces (4, 5), wherein the rolling body cage (6) radially engages over the two resilient elements (12, 13).In order to be able to manufacture the axial bearing arrangement (1) without further post processing steps as a structural unit (16), the invention proposes to construct the rolling body cage (6) radially slotted, so that the cage can be radially elastically pulled over the resilient elements (12, 13) of the bearing rings (2, 3).
