    Abstract: A bearing assembly includes a bearing having a first bearing ring, a second bearing ring rotatably disposed relative to the first bearing ring, and a plurality of rolling elements in a bearing interior defined by the first bearing ring and the second bearing ring. Also, at least one layer of non-metallic material on the first bearing ring configured to conduct heat away from the first bearing ring and to electrically insulate the first bearing ring and to fill at least one cavity between the first bearing ring and a component to which the first bearing ring is mounted. The at least one layer may be a first layer of a heat-conducting material and a second layer of a different, electrically insulating material.

    Abstract: A method for installing a bearing assembly on a stationary component where the bearing assembly includes a bearing carrier, a stationary bearing ring rotationally secured to the bearing carrier and a rotatable bearing ring supported for rotation relative to the first bearing ring. The method includes inserting a portion of the bearing carrier into an opening in the stationary component or inserting a portion of the stationary component into the bearing carrier, using an alignment tool to position at least two exposed radial surface portions of the stationary bearing ring with a surface of the stationary component to produce a temporary alignment of a rotational axis of the stationary bearing ring with a central axis of the stationary component, after producing the temporary alignment, attaching the bearing carrier to the stationary component in a manner that maintains the alignment, and removing the alignment tool from the bearing ring.
