Abstract
A temperature compensation ring configured to compensate for changes in a temperature-dependent distance between two components includes a base body made from an elastic material and a first reinforcing body and a second reinforcing body, each of the first and second reinforcing bodies including a harder material than the material of the base body. The first and second reinforcing bodies are disposed at opposite end surfaces of the base body and partially define an outer periphery of the temperature compensation ring.

A temperature compensation ring configured to compensate for changes in a temperature-dependent distance between two components, comprising:
- a base body made from an elastic material, and
- a first reinforcing body and a second reinforcing body, each of the first and second reinforcing bodies comprising a harder material than a material of the base body,
- wherein the first and second reinforcing bodies are located at opposite end surfaces of the base body and partially define an outer periphery of the temperature compensation ring,
- wherein the first and second reinforcing bodies are located in an obliquely opposing manner so that the first reinforcing body is disposed on an inner circumferential edge of the base body and the second reinforcing body is disposed on an outer circumferential edge of the base body.

- a base body made from an elastic material, and
- a first reinforcing body and a second reinforcing body, each of the first and second reinforcing bodies comprising a harder material than a material of the base body,
- wherein the first and second reinforcing bodies are located at opposite end surfaces of the base body and partially define an outer periphery of the temperature compensation ring,
- wherein the first and second reinforcing bodies are located in an obliquely opposing manner so that the first reinforcing body is disposed on an inner circumferential edge of the base body and the second reinforcing body is disposed on an outer circumferential edge of the base body,
- wherein the base body includes first and second recesses on first and second opposing edges, and wherein the first reinforcing body is disposed in the first recess without adhesive and the second reinforcing body is disposed in the second recess,
- wherein the temperature compensation ring is non-metallic,
- wherein the reinforcing body includes a projection extending parallel to a side surface, and
- wherein at least one of the first and second reinforcing bodies includes a conical bore or at least one of the reinforcing bodies includes a conical radially outwardly oriented outer surface.
A method, comprising:
- disposing at least one mounting aid of a temperature compensation ring on a bearing ring, wherein the at least one mounting aid is configured to center at least one first reinforcing body of a temperature compensation ring in a radial direction, and
- disposing the at least one first reinforcing body on the bearing ring such that the at least one first reinforcing body is centered by the at least one mounting aid,
- wherein the at least one first reinforcing comprises first and second reinforcing bodies that are located in an obliquely opposing manner so that the at least one first reinforcing body is disposed on an inner circumferential edge of a base body of a temperature compensation ring and the second reinforcing body is disposed on an outer circumferential edge of the base body.
