Multiple-Row Angular Contact Antifriction Bearing, Particularly For Mounting the Bevel Pinion Shaft in a Motor Vehicle Rear Axle Differential

A multiple-row angular contact antifriction bearing, for mounting on a the bevel pinion shaft in a motor vehicle rear axle differential, said multiple-row angular contact antifriction bearing comprising:

• an outer bearing ring and an inner bearing ring and a multiplicity of rolling bodies which are arranged at least in two rows next to one another between the bearing rings and are held in the circumferential direction at uniform spacings from one another by at least one bearing cage, the inner side of the outer bearing ring being configured with at least two adjacent raceways which are delimited on one side by a shoulder and are arranged on common contact angle axes having at least two adjacent raceways, which are likewise delimited on one side by shoulders and on which one row each of the rolling bodies rolls by way of their running faces, in the outer side of the inner bearing ring, wherein the rolling bodies of each row are configured as spherical disks having two side faces each which are flattened symmetrically from a basic spherical shape, are arranged parallel to one another and the raceways of which have contact angle axes, which extend parallel to one another in the bearing rings, and are arranged adjacently to one another in such a way that the respective adjacent rolling bodies of each row are arranged with their directly adjacent side faces which point toward one another, on a common transverse axis which extends at right angles to the contact angle axes, and these side faces are configured at the same time as mutual guiding faces.
