Abstract
The object of the invention is an assembly comprising a bearing (1) and a mechanical interface (5) associated, by means of association means (7), with the fixed raceway (2) of the bearing (1), this interface (5) being intended to be interposed between the fixed raceway (2) of the bearing (1) and the fixed structure, the said interface (5) comprising:first means (8) of fixing to the fixed structure;second means (9) of fixing a device (10) intended to apply a force to the rotating member (6); andat least one elastic deformation zone (29-33) able to be deformed under the action of forces exerted on the said assembly, at least one sensor (38) able to measure the said forces being functionally associated with the said elastic deformation zone (29-33).
