  • Rolling element bearing
    Patent number: 8920040
    Abstract: A rolling-element bearing includes an inner ring and an outer ring having at least two adjacently disposed raceways for at least two rows of rolling elements. In order to avoid or reduce corrosion on the raceways of the outer ring caused by condensation forming on the outer raceway, the outer ring has at least one radially-outwardly-extending groove in the axial region between its at least two raceways for collecting condensation at a location away from the raceways.
