ABSTRACT:
An axial bearing having at least one axial runner disk which has a radially extending portion and an axially extending annular flange. A plurality of rollers roll along the radially extending portion of the axial runner disk. A detachable spacing member of annular shape retained on the axial runner disk with the aid of fastening elements, forming a captive axial bearing arrangement. The annular spacing member has a plurality of spaced-apart projecting bosses arranged in the circumferential direction having an axial extent determined by predefined spacing between two connection parts. A second axial runner disk cooperates with the first disk and holds bearing rollers between them. The bearing may be employed in a hydrodynamic torque converter at the stator between the pump wheel and the turbine wheel of the converter.
