Axial rolling bearing unit with rolling bodies, which are arranged between annular axial bearing washers, in the form of a self-fixing assembly

An axial rolling bearing unit comprising:

• a first annular axial bearing washer;
• a second annular axial bearing washer;
• a bearing cage;
• and
• a plurality of rolling elements arranged between the first annular axial bearing washer and the second annular axial bearing washer;
• wherein:
• the bearing cage comprises:
• a first radial edge rim extending in an axial direction to radially guide the rolling elements;
• and
• a second radial edge rim extending in the axial direction to radially guide the plurality of rolling elements;
• the first radial edge rim comprises an end-side bend that includes a first planar section and a second planar section that are folded relative to one another to form a double-rim design having a folded portion;
• the end-side bend comprises a first distal end section positioned opposite to the folded portion that holds the first annular axial bearing washer in a form-fitting manner;
• and
• the second radial edge rim holds the second annular axial bearing washer in a form-fitting manner;
• and
• the first distal end section includes a first angled rim border configured to engage and retain a first edge bevel of the first annular axial bearing washer and the second radial edge rim includes a second angled rim border configured to engage and retain a second edge bevel of the second annular axial bearing washer to provide a self-retaining structural unit.
