Abstract
A bearing assembly includes at least one rolling-element bearing that includes a bearing outer ring and a bearing inner ring and rolling elements disposed therebetween. The at least one rolling-element bearing is mounted in a component with the bearing outer ring in contact with the component, and the outer bearing ring includes a first edge surface extending between a rolling-element raceway and a radial end surface of bearing ring, and/or a second edge surface extending between an axial outer fitting surface and the radial end surface of the bearing ring. The component includes, on a surface facing the first and/or second edge surface, at least one material accumulation that interacts with the first and/or second edge surface.

A bearing assembly comprising:
- at least one rolling-element bearing that includes a bearing outer ring and a bearing inner ring and rolling elements disposed therebetween,
- wherein the at least one rolling-element bearing is mounted in a component with the bearing outer ring in contact with the component,
- wherein the outer bearing ring includes a first edge surface extending between a rolling-element raceway and a radial end surface of the bearing outer ring, and/or a second edge surface extending between an axial outer fitting surface and the radial end surface of the bearing outer ring,
- wherein the component includes, on a surface facing the first and/or second edge surface, at least one material accumulation that interacts with the first and/or second edge surface, and wherein the first and/or the second edge surface includes at least one structure projecting away from the first and/or second edge surface configured to form an interference fit connection with the at least one material accumulation.
A bearing assembly comprising:
- at least one rolling-element bearing that includes a bearing outer ring and a bearing inner ring and rolling elements disposed therebetween,
- wherein the at least one rolling-element bearing is mounted in a component with the bearing outer ring in contact with the component,
- wherein the outer bearing ring includes a first edge surface extending between a rolling-element raceway and a radial end surface of bearing ring, and/or a second edge surface extending between an axial outer fitting surface and the radial end surface of the bearing outer ring, the first and/or second edge surfaces having serrations projecting away from the first and/or second edge surface, and
- wherein the bearing outer ring is pressed into the component such that the serrations bite into the component and form an interference fit between the bearing outer ring and the component.
