Bearing arrangement with a bearing having an outer bearing race; a machine element with a cylindrical cutout receiving and securing the outer bearing race; and a circumferentially constructed groove adjoins a first axial side of the cylindrical cutout and extends radially outward to receive a locking element for securing the outer bearing race at the first axial side of the groove; an annular locking element having an inner diameter which is larger in a mounting state than in a securing state. The locking element is partially guided in the constructed circumferential groove to secure the outer bearing race at the first axial side in the securing state; and a securing device cooperates with the locking element to secure a changed state of the locking element; and the securing device secures the locking element from an outer side of the machine element opposite the first axial side of the cylindrical cutout.
