Abstract
A rolling bearing slewing connection comprising two race rings arranged concentrically in each other, between which race rings rolling elements roll on associated raceways, one of the race rings having a flexible configuration wherein, as viewed in a longitudinal section, the flexible race ring has a weakened configuration, so that a radial, elastic deformation that is so large that the rolling elements are pre-stressed in the loaded state in the entire peripheral region is possible.
