Abstract
A bearing device, comprising a bearing including an inner ring and an outer ring centered on a central axis, an impulse ring including a target holder which is fixed to the inner ring and extends beyond the outer ring radially to the central axis, and a target which is fixed to the target holder beyond the outer ring and is adapted to cooperate with detection means for tracking the rotation of the impulse ring around the central axis, and shifting means for axially shifting the impulse ring relative to the outer ring; the shifting means are distinct from the target holder. A sensor-bearing unit and an apparatus comprising at least one such bearing device are also disclosed and claimed.
