US Patent 6966701 Rolling bearing arrangement for an electromotor

The invention relates to a rolling bearing arrangement for an electromotor having a rotationally symmetrical rotor arranged rotatably inside a stator, there being provided for rotationally bearing the rotor. At least one standard rolling bearing that has an outer race which is arranged in a bearing seat in a fixed position relative to the stator and which cooperates via a rolling body arrangement with an inner race arranged on a shaft of the rotor. The bearing seat is lined with an insulation arrangement in order to avoid a flow of current between stator and rotor, the insulation arrangement having a thin, sheet-type semifinished product having insulation material resistant to the radial pressure force of the bearing.
