Abstract
An axial rolling bearing unit includes a first annular axial bearing washer, a second annular axial bearing washer, a bearing cage, and rolling elements arranged between the first annular axial bearing washer and the second annular axial bearing washer. The bearing cage includes an inner radial edge rim extending in an axial direction to radially guide the rolling elements, and an outer radial edge rim extending in the axial direction to radially guide the rolling elements. The inner radial edge rim or the outer radial edge rim includes an end-side bend extending in an opposite axial direction as a double-rim design, and the end-side bend has a first distal end section that holds the first annular axial bearing washer in a form-fitting manner. The other one of the inner radial edge rim or the outer radial edge rim holds the second annular axial bearing washer in a form-fitting manner.
