Abstract
A two-row angular contact ball bearing with two axially spaced inner races arranged in the shaft and outer rings with outer races disposed around the inner races. The outer rings are held apart by a bushing. One end of the bushing rests against one of the outer rings. The other end of the bushing has a radially enlarged end section which extends over the other outer ring and defines a free space between the other outer ring and a shoulder at the beginning of the enlarged section of the bushing. An annular, conical spring is in the free space between the outer ring and the shoulder. A cutout in the bushing enables installation of hardening material in the free space radially outside the annular spring for rigidifying the spacing of the bearings once the shaft carrying the bearings has been installed in a final installation.
