Bearing

A bearing arrangement comprising:

• a bearing comprising:
• at least one inner ring,
• one outer ring, and
• a target ring;
• and
• one of a housing or shaft,
• wherein a coupling element is provided for maintaining a relative position of one of (a) the at least one inner ring or (b) the outer ring to the target ring,
• wherein the coupling element comprises an alignment surface that aligns the target ring with the housing or the shaft into/onto which the at least one inner ring or the outer ring is mounted, and
• wherein the coupling element forms one of the group of a radially extending bulge and a radially extending recess, one of the (a) the at least one inner ring and (b) the outer ring forms the other of the group of a radially extending bulge and a radially extending recess.

A method for mounting a bearing including at least one bearing ring, a target ring and a coupling element into a housing or onto a shaft,

• the bearing arranged wherein the coupling element is provided for maintaining a relative position of the bearing ring to the target ring,
• wherein the coupling element comprises an alignment surface that aligns the target ring with one of a housing or a shaft, and
• wherein the bearing ring is to be mounted in accordance with at least one of into and onto the alignment surface,
• the method comprising steps of:
• pre-assembling a coupling element between the bearing ring and the target ring for maintaining the relative position of the bearing ring to the target ring, and
• mounting the pre-assembled bearing ring, the target ring and the coupling element into the housing or onto the shaft and thereby aligning the target ring and the bearing ring with the housing or the shaft and aligning the target ring to the bearing ring such that a radially innermost surface of the target ring is parallel to a radially innermost surface of the coupling element.
