Abstract
Rolling bearing comprising a stationary race 1, a rotating race 4, at least one row of rolling elements 3 placed between the stationary race 1 and the rotating race 4, an encoder 11 which is concentric with and is secured to the rotating race 4, and a sensor 14. A support 16 secures the sensor to the stationary race 1. The sensor faces and is a small gap 15 away from the encoder 11, the rotational travel of which is detected by the sensor 14. The sensor 14 bears directly on a reference surface 9b of the stationary race 1.
