AXIAL ANTI-FRICTION BEARING, IN PARTICULAR AXIAL NEEDLE BEARING

An axial roller bearing, in particular an axial needle bearing, having a first annular bearing disk and a second annular bearing disk that are each made of a thin-walled sheet steel and are arranged at a distance from one another on a common center axis, and a plurality of rolling elements, arranged next to one another, that roll between the axial inner sides-implemented as races-of the two bearing disks and that are held at uniform distances from one another by a bearing cage. The bearing disks are implemented as disk springs that deflect as a function of load and have races positioned at an angle, and are arranged relative to one another such that the rolling elements have low-friction point contact in the unloaded state of the axial roller bearing and only have load-bearing line contact with the races in the fully loaded state.
