Non-locating bearing assembly

A non-locating bearing assembly comprising:

• a bearing unit configured to support a rotatable component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a first stationary bearing ring and a second rotatable bearing ring fixedly connectable to the rotatable component, and
• a bearing carrier to which the stationary bearing ring is attached by a connector, the bearing carrier being configured to be fixedly connected to the stationary component,
• wherein the stationary bearing ring or the carrier includes at least one circumferential groove and the connector includes a spring mounted in the circumferential groove and exerting a spring force radially outwardly against a surface of the carrier and/or radially inwardly against a surface of the stationary bearing ring and the spring has windings configured to engage with any irregularities in the surface of the carrier and/or the surface of the stationary bearing ring such that the connector allows axial displacement of the stationary bearing ring while at least resisting rotation of the stationary bearing ring, and wherein the bearing carrier includes stop elements configured to prevent axial separation of the stationary bearing ring and the bearing carrier.
