Abstract
A roller bearing for underwater applications, in particular for underwater turbines, which has an outer ring and an inner ring arranged in a bearing housing made from a stainless material. Several roller bodies are held in a cage and are arranged between the bearing rings on corresponding roller tracks made from a corrosion-resistant material. In order to save weight for a roller bearing, the diameter of which is, in particular between 0.2 and 10 m, at least one of the bearing rings is designed as bearing ring for a thin ring bearing.
