  • Patent number: 12292082
    Abstract: A bearing, in particular to a self-aligning roller bearing, with a fastener of a sealing disc, which fastener increases the load-bearing strength. The bearing includes a bearing ring with an annular sealing disc which is connected to one of the two bearing ring end surfaces by a fastener which have a shank and a head, which has an enlarged diameter with respect to the shank, and the respective shanks reach through the bores which are made in the respective end surface. Here, the annular surfaces have a cylindrical contour, with the result that the other annular surface provides a raceway, wherein the raceway has a spherical contour, and the bore center axis of each bore in the bearing ring and in the sealing disc has an engaged profile which converges onto the cylindrical contour of the one annular surface.
