The invention relates to a support bearing, for example for straighteners, having an outer ring (2, 24, 41), having an inner ring (7, 23, 31, 40) and rolling bodies (1) which can roll between the outer ring (2, 24, 41) and the inner ring (7, 23, 31, 40) on raceways, wherein a
bending moment prevails between the rings (2, 24, 41, 7, 23, 31, 40) as a result of a load with a fixed direction of action. With the aim of compensating for the
bending moment, it is proposed to provide an outer raceway of the inner ring (7, 23, 31) and / or an inner raceway of the outer ring with a profiling with a variable
diameter in the axial width, wherein the profiling is adapted or approximated to a non-cylindrical bending line caused by the
bending moment in the rolling contact, and the bending line is defined by a line, on which bending forces which are transmitted from the inner ring (7, 23, 3) to the rolling bodies (1) and are caused by the bending moment lie substantially perpendicularly. As a result, in particular, the disadvantageous
edge loading in a given load direction is suppressed, with the result that more rolling bodies (1) can transmit load between the rings (2, 24, 41, 7, 23, 31, 40) at the same time.
