Abstract
This rolling bearing (1) comprises an inner ring (12), an outer ring (14), rolling bodies (16) between said inner and outer rings, an encoder washer (32) fast in rotation with said inner ring and a support member (18) having an internal surface (26) in the form of a section of a sphere, the internal surface being adapted to be in sliding contact with a corresponding external surface (28) of the outer ring (14) which is also in the form of a section of a sphere. The support member (18) is provided with means (100; 200; 300; 400) to hold a sensor (50) with respect to the encoder washer (32), in a position where the sensor can detect a rotation of the encoder washer.
