Radial self-aligning rolling bearing including an outer ring, an inner ring, and balls which are arranged to roll in the raceways of the rings, and also spherical rollers together as rolling elements, which are all guided in a cage. The balls are larger in diameter than the spherical rollers, so that the balls exclusively take up the entire bearing load when the bearing load is small and both the balls and the rollers take up a larger bearing load.
The invention relates to a self-aligning antifriction bearing (1) comprising at least one first row (9) of rolling bodies (11) and a second row (10) of rolling bodies (11) adjacent to said first row (9) of rolling bodies (11), whereby every row (9, 10) comprises balls (5) and rollers (6) disposed peripherally about a central axis of the self-aligning antifriction bearing (1). The bearing is characterized in that the balls (5) have a greater outer diameter (28) than the rollers (6).
