ABSTRACT:
A bearing assembly for a bearing journal (13), especially of a cross member of a universal joint, has a bearing journal (13) with a cylindrical outer face (14), an end face (16) and a journal axis (15). A bearing element (8) has a cylindrical bearing bore (9) with a bottom face (11) and a running face (10) which is arranged at a radial distance from the outer face (14) of the bearing journal (13). Rolling-contact members (17), at their respective ends, include at least partially planar first end face (18) and second end face (19). The faces (18) and (19) are arranged between the running face (10) and the outer face (14). A stop face (20) includes an annular contact face (21) for the first end face (18) of the rolling-contact members (17). A pressure disk (22) is included with a disk portion (23) arranged between the end face (16) of the bearing journal (13) and the bottom face (11). A supporting portion (24) radially follows the disk portion (23) with reference to the journal axis (15). The supporting portion (24) is contacted by the second end faces (19) of the rolling-contact members (17). The supporting portion (24) is designed to be resilient.
