Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly providing a crankshaft having a shaft section that is rotationally supported by a rolling element bearing having an outer ring that is radially divided into two ring halves. To reduce friction and accommodate misalignment, the invention proposes that the bearing which supports the shaft section is a toroidal roller bearing.
