The construction or assembly is further provided with two sleeves arranged in recesses of the spacer rings with play and surrounding them at a distance. The sleeves are provided with at least one flange-like stud which projects into the interior of the bearing and engages a corresponding recess in the spacer rings with play.

The space between the sleeves and the spacer rings is filled with lubricating grease.
