Abstract: A roller bearing assembly, comprising two bearing rings having confronting raceways and rolling element in the annular space between the rings and a cage for the rolling elements. The components of the bearing are held together as a unit before installation by a bonding composition which melts at elevated operating temperatures. Each bearing ring has at least two recesses distributed on the circumference extending from surfaces facing away from the raceways of the bearing rings into the space between the bearing rings and ring segments of the wax-grease-adhesive bonding composition are provided preferably over portion of the circumference between the bearing rings, encompassing components of the bearing.
