Abstract
The invention relates to a cage-free rolling bearing (1) having a plurality of rolling elements (4) which are arranged so as to be distributed in the circumferential direction between an inner ring (2) and an outer ring (3) that is arranged concentrically to the inner ring (2); and a pressing element (6) which is arranged in the manner of a ring segment along the circumferential direction, at least temporarily contacts at least two of the rolling elements (4) simultaneously, and applies a force oriented in an axial direction to each of the contacted rolling elements (4).

A cage-free rolling bearing having:
- a plurality of rolling bodies, which are arranged in a circumferentially distributed manner between an inner ring and an outer ring, which is arranged concentrically in relation to the inner ring;
- and
- a pressure-exerting element, which
- is arranged in the manner of a ring segment along the circumferential direction,
- at least at certain points in time establishes contact with at least two of the rolling bodies simultaneously, and
- subjects each of the rolling bodies with which contact is established to a force which is oriented in the axial direction.
