Abstract

Rolling bearing comprising a stationary race 1, a rotating race 4, a row of rolling bodies 7 arranged between the stationary race and the rotating race, an encoder means 10 secured to the rotating race and concentric therewith and a sensor means 9 supported by a sensor carrier block 11 secured to the stationary race and arranged facing and a small gap away from the encoder means, the travel of which, during rotation, is detected by the sensor means 9. The rolling bearing comprises a means for trapping the sensor carrier block 11 against a surface 14 of the stationary race 1.
