Abstract
Rolling bearing including a stationary race 1, a rotating race 6, at least one row of rolling bodies 3 placed between the stationary race 1 and the rotating race 6, an encoder 23 secured to the rotating race 6 and concentric therewith, and a sensor 14 supported by a sensor carrier block 15 secured to the stationary race 1 and arranged facing and a small gap away from the encoder 23, the travel of which, during rotation, is detected by the sensor 14. The sensor carrier block 15 is secured to the stationary race 1 by a metal retainer 16 positioned with respect to the stationary race 1. The retainer 16 is positioned on a radial face 5 of the stationary race 1 of the rolling bearing and welded to this race.
