Abstract: A motor vehicle drive wheel assembly comprising a fixed subassembly comprising two outer raceways; and, a rotating subassembly comprising a first inner race, a second inner race and two rows of balls arranged in two pitch planes PP1 and PP2. The second inner bearing race has an outer diameter, measured in a section plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation and located between the first pitch plane and the second pitch plane, at a measurement distance DM of the first pitch plane, which is greater than a given threshold value VS.

Abstract: An assembly forming a bearing housing is equipped with an information sensing system comprising a coder generating magnetic pulses and a sensor provided with at least two sensitive elements able to detect these pulses. The bearing has a rotating internal member, a fixed external member and rolling bodies disposed in a bearing space. The bearing housing also has a cover secured to the fixed member in order to obstruct the bearing space laterally. The coder is secured to the rotating member behind the cover and the sensitive elements being disposed opposite the coder, in front of the cover, so that the pulses are detected through the cover. The sensor has a device for processing the signals detected by the sensitive elements. The device comprises a triggering device and a device for applying the XOR function to the signals triggered, so as to increase the resolution of the output signal with respect to that of the signals detected.

Abstract: A connecting sleeve generally used for a bus bar connection is produced from an insulating elastic material, often an elastomer material, having insulating properties which are deteriorated by partial discharges and decrease over the operating time of the switchboard system. According to the invention, so-called partial discharge measuring methods must be carried out, inter alia also in the UHF range (UHF: ultra high frequency), in order to identify damaging effects on the insulating material in time. For the reliable and simple detection of the measuring signals, the connecting sleeve (M) has an outer, electroconductive surface (OA) which is earthed, and an inner, electroconductive surface (OI) to which the voltage potential of the bus bar (S) is applied, in addition to a coupling electrode (KE) which is integrated into the insulating material (I).
