Bearing assembly, in particular for an electric motor

A bearing assembly comprising:

• a bearing including a first bearing ring, a second bearing ring rotatably disposed relative to the first bearing ring, and a plurality of rolling elements in a bearing interior defined by the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring,
• at least one layer of non-metallic material on the first bearing ring configured to conduct heat away from the first bearing ring and to electrically insulate the first bearing ring and to fill at least one cavity between the first bearing ring and a component to which the first bearing ring is mounted, and
• a metal ring on the first bearing ring,
• wherein the at least one layer comprises an electrically insulating first layer and a heat-conducting second layer on the first layer,
• wherein the second layer is provided between the first layer and the metal ring, and
• wherein the metal ring has a first flange overlying a first axial end of the first bearing ring and a second flange overlying a second axial end of the first bearing ring and wherein at least a portion of the first layer and at least a portion of the second layer are located axially between the first flange and the second flange.
