A bearing arrangement is provided having an axial securing ring that inserts into a bearing-seat radial groove of a bearing carrier to secure an anti-friction bearing axially in relation to the bearing carrier. The axial securing ring is an open flat ring with an annular section. Radially projecting lugs are provided at each end of the annular section. The radial width of the annular section is substantially constant over the circumference of the annular section. The lugs are produced by bending the axial securing ring with respect to the annular section. The axial securing ring is plane-ground on its axial sides.
