Abstract: The radial rolling bearing has an outer bearing ring, an inner bearing ring, and spherical rollers arranged between bearing rings. The spherical rollers have two flat side faces arranged parallel to one another. The spherical rollers are retained with uniform spacing to one another in the peripheral direction by a bearing cage. The spherical rollers have a width between their side faces of approximately 70% of the diameter of their spherical basic shape. The running faces of the rollers roll in two groove-shaped raceways which are formed in the inner side of the outer bearing ring and in the outer side of the inner bearing ring. At least one of the axial rims which delimit the groove-shaped raceways is reduced in radial height such that the radial bearing can be equipped with an increased number of spherical rollers in an axial assembly process.
