A bearing assembly comprises an outer bearing housing and at least one inner bearing element, which serves for rotatably mounting a component. The bearing assembly is intended to be submerged in water or in a slurry and defines outwardly open gaps, which are inclined to the axis of the bearing arrangement and disposed at the ends of the bearing element and axially and radially outwardly of the bearing element. The gaps are defined between relatively rotatable parts of the bearing assembly. Each gap contains at least one sealing ring at a distance from the outer end of the gap. Lubricating means are provided in each shaft beside the sealing ring.
