Bearing configuration with two-row polygonal bearing

A bearing configuration for the purpose of mounting a shaft or axle in a housing in a manner allowing rotation, the bearing configuration comprising:

• a first polygonal bearing comprising:
• an outer bearing ring which is functionally assigned to the housing, the outer bearing ring forming a first outer race facing inward radially, the outer bearing ring including:
• an elastic segment oriented along an axis of rotation and forming a convex transversely rounded race curvature, the elastic segment including a first wall thickness;
• at least one segment with a radially elastic design, which runs around a periphery and which forms a longitudinal convexity, the at least one segment including a second wall thickness;
• and,
• the first and second wall thicknesses are different from other wall segments of the outer bearing ring;
• a second outer race facing outward radially of the shaft or of an inner bearing ring;
• and,
• a plurality of rolling elements guidable on the first outer race and working together on an opposite side with the second outer race, the plurality of rolling elements including at least one rolling element arranged to be radially pretensioned and elastically supported on the first or second outer race with no radial play, via the elastic segment;
• and,
• a second polygonal bearing joinable with the first polygonal bearing.
