  • Patent number: 11982317
    Abstract: A sensor bearing unit includes a bearing having a first ring and a second ring centered on an axis, an impulse ring secured to the first ring of the bearing, and a sensor device for detecting rotational characteristics of the impulse ring. The sensor device includes a sensor housing secured to the second ring and at least one sensor element supported by the sensor housing and configured to cooperate with the impulse ring. The sensor housing is secured to a groove, having side walls, on a cylindrical surface of the second ring of the bearing, and the groove is located on a side of the second ring radially opposite the first ring.

  • Patent number: 11746829
    Abstract: A sensor bearing assembly includes a bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring centered on an axis, an impulse ring secured to the outer ring of the bearing, and a sensor device for detecting rotational parameters of the impulse ring. The sensor device includes a sensor housing and at least one sensor element supported by the sensor housing and cooperating with the impulse ring. Also an annular spacer adapted to axially abut against a lateral face of the inner ring of the bearing. The sensor housing is fixedly secured to the spacer, the inner diameter of the spacer is equal to the inner diameter of the inner ring of the bearing, and the outer diameter of the impulse ring is less than or equal to the outer diameter of the outer ring of the bearing.
