1. A non-locating bearing assembly comprising:
a bearing unit configured to support a rotating component relative to a stationary component, the bearing unit including a stationary bearing ring and a rotatable bearing ring that are rotatable with respect to each other, wherein the rotatable bearing ring is fixedly connectable to the rotating component, and the stationary bearing ring is mountable in the stationary component in a rotationally fixed but axially displaceable manner, and
a connector between the stationary bearing ring and the stationary component configured to connect the bearing ring to the stationary component in an axially displaceable but substantially rotationally fixed manner,
wherein the stationary component or the stationary ring includes at least one axially extending longitudinal groove having two facing sidewalls and the other one of the stationary component and the stationary ring includes a circumferential groove, the connector including an annular body disposed within the circumferential groove and at least one radial projection disposed within and axially displaceable along the longitudinal groove such that the stationary ring is axially displaceable and prevented from rotation by engagement between the at least one projection and at least one of the sidewalls of the longitudinal groove.
