Abstract
The bearing, intended to be interposed between a shaft with a median neck bordered by two ends, one of which is capped by a sleeve capable of sliding axially, and a support, includes an inner race, an outer race, a retaining ring, rolling members and a cage. At least one edge of the cage is provided with a resting element. The neck includes an abutment element such as a ramp to normally to hold the case axially fixed. Axial sliding of the cage is enabled after deformation of the resting element when the sleeve encounters particularly the cage.
