Radial-axial rolling bearing

A radial-axial rolling bearing, having an L-shaped arrangement of components so as to increase stiffness against canting, comprises a radial bearing 1 and axial bearings 2, 3 having a common axis of rotation (Fig 1, 18.). Radial bearing 1 has an inner ring 20 (formed from two component rings 21, 22), an outer ring 4 arranged coaxially therewith (between which rolling bodies 9 roll to absorb radial forces) and cylindrical rolling bodies 10,11 which are guided in individual and spring arranged segments (26, Fig 4.) cages 12, 13. The cages are arranged on the two sides (with their raceways formed on one side by the flanks of outer ring 4 and on the other side by race rings 6, 8, one of which is connected to inner ring 5) so as to absorb axial forces. Rolling bodies 10, 11 of bearings 2, 3 are guided by rim 19 which is disposed either on outer ring 4 or race ring 6, 8. Inner ring 20 is machined as a single component and is then split in to two component rings 21, 22 which are held together with fixing screws.
