Abstract: A securing element (1, 11, 12, 13, 14) made of sheet metal with an annular body (3, 12a, 26) and with holding tongues (4, 41, 42, 43, 44) which emerge from the annular body (3, 12a, 26) and end at a hole (6) in the securing element (1, 11, 12, 13, 14), which hole is centered with respect to the center axis (5) of the securing element (1, 11, 12, 13, 14), wherein the hole (6) leads axially in the same direction as the center axis (5) through the securing element (1, 11, 12, 13, 14) and, at radial narrowest hole cross sections of the hole (6), is bounded at least by end edges (7, 71, 72, 73, 74) formed on the end sides of the holding tongues (4, 41, 42, 43, 44).

Abstract: A play-free radial ball bearing, includes an inner bearing ring and two outer bearing rings which are disposed in spaced-apart relationship and define a common raceway. A spring element applies an axial force on one of the outer bearing rings to thereby press the outer bearing rings resiliently against one another. The outer bearing rings and the spring element are surrounded by a tolerance ring which is made of plastic material to provide a structural unit, whereby the tolerance ring has a shoulder on one end for radially surrounding the spring element and at least one retaining lug on another end for radially surrounding the other one of the outer bearing rings.
