BEARING MOUNTED WITH A TWO-PART OUTER RING PRESSING AGAINST AN ABUTMENT OF THE HOUSING BY MEANS OF A SPRING EXERTING AN AXIAL PRELOAD

摘要

The invention relates to a bearing for a rotating machine in an axial direction (Z-Z), comprising an inner ring (3) mounted around a shaft (1) and an outer ring (4) mounted in a housing (2), bearing elements (5) being arranged between said inner ring and said outer ring, characterised in that the outer ring (4) comprises a first half-ring and a second half-ring (4A, 4B), the first half-ring (4A) being locked against translation in the axial direction in relation to the housing (2), the second half-ring (4B) being mounted in a sliding manner in a receiving area between the first half-ring (4A) and an abutment (21) of the housing (2), the abutment (21) of the housing (2) comprising a preload member (7) exerting a pushing force on the second half-ring (4B) with the effect of positioning same such that it presses against the first half-ring (4A).
