摘要

The bearing (1) has a bearing (2) e.g. two-row ball bearing, fixed at or in a bearing support (4), and a drive shaft (5) supported at a bearing surface. The bearing has an outer ring (3) e.g. massive steel ring, partially and radially encased by a material of the support, and fixed at and/or in the support. The support is produced by an injection molding operation, and is made of thermoplastic, duroplastic, thermoplastic elastomer, rubber, aluminum or magnesium.
