Abstract: A non-locating bearing arrangement for supporting one side of a trunnion ring of a converter. The arrangement provides a toroidal roller bearing mounted in a split housing having top and bottom halves, an inner ring of the bearing mounted to a trunnion of the trunnion ring and an outer ring of the bearing mounted to a bore in the housing. A first spacer ring mounted in axial abutment between a first side part of the housing an opposing end face of the outer bearing ring; a second spacer ring mounted in axial abutment between a second side part of the housing and an opposing end face of the outer bearing ring. The first spacer ring has an axial width greater than an axial width of the second spacer ring, and the protrusion has a plane of symmetry that is parallel to and axially offset from the housing center plane.
