The bearing assembly comprises a an outer race (1) with a plurality of outer race segments (1A, 1B) separated circumferentially from each other by joints (A) which extend generally longitudinally. To connect the segments (1A, 1B) together to provide the complete bearing outer race (1), mounting grooves (2) are provided, one for each joint (A), in an outer peripheral surface of the outer race (1) so as to form a loop which straddles the respective joint (A), and a connecting member (3) which is press-fitted into the associated mounting groove (2). The connecting member may be a snap ring (3), a circlip, a plate washer or a garter spring. <IMAGE> |
