Abstract
In a rolling bearing wherein rolling elements radially engage a bearing ring, a separate flange ring is positioned to inhibit axial movement of the rolling elements. The flange ring is held axially and radially by a retaining ring having a first arm that extends into an annular groove of the bearing ring and a second arm that extends axially outwardly of the bearing from the first arm, to fill the intermediate space between the bearing ring and the flange ring. The end of the last mentioned arm is bent radially inwardly to axially engage the end face of the flange ring.
