Abstract
A bearing assembly is configured to be axially mountable in a support roller as a single structural unit. The support roller includes an at least partially hollow-cylindrical support roller shell and a support roller shaft. The bearing assembly comprises a mounting element configured to axially slide on the support roller shaft for mounting the bearing assembly in the support roller, a roller bearing having an inner ring fixedly supported on the mounting element, a support body radially surrounding the roller bearing, a cushioning layer radially surrounding the support body, and a sleeve radially surrounding the cushioning layer. The sleeve is configured to slidably contact an inner cylindrical surface of the support roller shell.

A bearing assembly for a support roller having a support roller shell, which is formed hollow cylindrically at least in one segment thereof, the bearing assembly comprising:
- at least one bearing configured to rotatably support the support roller shell, the bearing having an inner ring,
- a mounting element carrying the inner ring and allowing a displacement of the bearing inner ring in an axial direction for mounting the bearing assembly,
- a support body radially surrounding the bearing,
- a cushioning layer disposed around a radially-outer portion of the support body, and
- a sleeve surrounding the cushioning layer and being slidable along an inner cylindrical surface of the support roller shell.
A bearing assembly configured to be axially mountable in a support roller as a single structural unit, the support roller having an at least partially hollow-cylindrical support roller shell and a support roller shaft disposed within the shell, the bearing assembly comprising:
- a mounting element configured to axially slide on the support roller shaft for mounting the bearing assembly in the support roller,
- a roller bearing having an inner ring fixedly supported on the mounting element,
- a support body radially surrounding the roller bearing,
- a cushioning layer radially surrounding the support body, and
- a sleeve radially surrounding the cushioning layer and being configured to slidably contact an inner cylindrical surface of the support roller shell.
