Patent attributes
A rolling bearing assembly including a rolling bearing provided with a first race having a bore, two front edges and an outer cylindrical surface, and with a second race provided with a bore, two front edges and an outer cylindrical surface. The first and second races rotate relatively about a central axis. The assembly is intended to be mounted in a housing. The assembly provides at least one first annular flange that is secured to the first race and at least partially covers a front edge of the first race, and at least one second annular flange that is secured to the second race and at least partially covers a front edge of the second race. Free ends of the first and second annular flanges are in sliding contact. The difference in dimensions between the housing and the rolling bearing is compensated by the flanges.
