Abstract
A tapered roller bearing may comprise an inner ring, an outer ring, and two rows of tapered rollers that are arranged in an O-arrangement between the inner ring and the outer ring. The inner ring may extend in an axial direction over a greater length than the outer ring, and a gap between the inner ring and the outer ring on at least one side of the tapered roller bearing may be sealed by a sealing assembly. The sealing assembly may comprise a main seal that is attached to the inner ring in a rotationally fixed manner, as well as a seal race ring that is attached to the outer ring in a rotationally fixed manner. The seal race ring may form a seal raceway for the main seal.
