Abstract

Assembly forming a roller bearing equipped with an information sensor device containing an encoder that generates magnetic pulses and a sensor equipped with at least two sensitive elements capable of detecting these pulses. The assembly comprises a fixed spindle containing an axial bore; a rotating external ring having, on the outside of the assembly, an annular housing that protrudes coaxially relative to said bore; and roller bodies arranged between spindle and external ring. The encoder is connected on one internal lateral face of a plug arranged in the housing and the sensor is arranged in the bore supported on an external lateral surface of the spindle.
