Double row angular contact ball bearing with one-piece outer ring and one-piece inner ring

In a double row angular contact ball bearing comprising a one-piece inner ring, a one-piece outer ring disposed concentric with the inner ring, first and second rows of balls disposed between said inner and outer rings with a predetermined angle of contact, and first and second cages for respectively holding said first and second rows of balls, the number of balls comprising said first row, inserted between a first raceway track of said inner ring and a first raceway track of said outer ring adapted to be subject to a higher load, being greater than the number of balls of said second row, inserted between a second raceway track of said inner ring and a second raceway track of said outer ring, said balls of said first row being inserted in a maximum-type manner, wherein said second raceway track of said outer ring is an angular contact raceway laterally open at one side throughout the circumferential extent of said outer ring, and said first raceway track of said outer ring is cut out from the bottom thereof in a substantially radially outward direction and then laterally toward an end face of said outer ring to form an inner cylinder bore surface, and said bore surface has a diameter greater than the diameter of the bottom of said first raceway track of said outer ring at least by an amount corresponding to more than 5% of the diameter of said balls, such that during assembly of said bearing, said first row of balls and said inner ring in contact therewith are able to be displaced tiltingly and then radially outwardly with respect to said outer ring to provide a greater space for inserting the balls of said second row without causing excessive axial misalignment between said second raceway track of said inner ring and said second raceway track of said outer ring, thereby enabling a greater number of balls to be included in said second row.
