1. A segment bearing device for supporting a first bearing partner relative to a second bearing partner about a pivot axis (S), comprising:
a plurality of rolling elements,
a segment cage for receiving the rolling elements, and
a partial shell, the partial shell providing a race for the rolling elements,
wherein:
at least one of the plurality of rolling elements is arranged, as a mounting rolling element, in a first partial circle (TK1) in an operating state of the segment bearing device and is held in a second partial circle (TK2) in a mounted state of the segment bearing device, the common center point of the first and second partial circles (TK1, TK2) being defined by a center of curvature of the segment cage and the first partial circle (TK1) having a smaller diameter than the second partial circle (TK2).
