A rolling bearing includes rollers clamped between an inner raceway and an outer bearing shell. The outer bearing shell bears with its outer circumferential surface against an outer component which can be a housing of an axial piston machine. The inner raceway is either formed directly on an inner component, or it is formed on an inner bearing shell, which bears against the inner component. In order to permit tilting of the inner component, wherein the rollers remain in predetermined contact with the two raceways, at least one beveled contact region or a region reduced in another way is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the outer bearing shell.
