A large antifriction bearing composed of a plurality of segments for absorbing forces generating axial, radial and pitching forces, in which each of the individual segments is formed by two bearing ring segments. Within the region of the roller path of the large antifriction bearing one bearing ring segment has a cross section of a substantially one-piece T-shaped profile, whereas the other bearing ring segment in cross section is designed as a U-shaped profile partially surrounding the flange of the T-shaped profile. Holding ring segments are detachably connected to the the ends of the two free legs of the U-shaped profile and extend into the region of the web of the T-shaped profile. The bearing ring segments which abut each other and form the large antifriction bearing are guided by runningpath wires inserted into the bearing ring segment and bridging the areas abutting each other.
