Abstract
A bearing plate formed from sheet metal to hold at least two rolling bearings in closely adjoining relation includes a pair of seat surfaces between which is located a ridge. The ridge is positioned in the area of the narrowest point between the outside rings of the rolling bearings and is pulled from the seat surfaces generally in the axial direction. The ridge axially increases in width with curved transition areas that merge with the seat surfaces.
