A radial rolling element bearing (1) formed of a cylindrical outer ring (3) that is inserted into a housing (2), and a rolling element cage (4) arranged in said outer ring and formed by a plurality of roller-shaped rolling bodies (6) which are inserted into a bearing cage (5) and held thereby, equidistantly, in a circumferential direction, and roll on an outer raceway (8) formed by the inner lateral surface (7) of the outer ring, and on an inner raceway (11) formed by the outer lateral surface (9) of a shaft (10) to be mounted or a smooth cylindrical inner ring pushed onto said shaft. The roller race is axially guided by two separate flanged disks (14, 15) which lie against the axial sides (12, 13) of the outer ring and are axially secured, together with the outer ring, by securing elements which engage in recesses (16, 17) in the housing. According to the invention, this radial rolling element bearing is characterized in that said flanged disks include a right-angled profiled cross-section that has a horizontal securing leg (18, 20) and a vertical flanged leg (19, 21) and, by pressing their horizontal securing legs onto two peripheral stepped shoulders (22, 23) in the edge regions of the outer lateral surface (24) of the outer ring, are secured thereto; and in that the securing elements which engage in recesses in the housing for the purpose of axially securing said rolling element bearing are designed as spring elements (25, 26) integrated into the securing legs of the flanged disks. |
