  • Publication number: 20170028540
    Abstract: The invention provides a tool and a method for extracting a sensor body clipped to a first ring of a bearing. The sensor body includes engaging portions provided on a first radial edge thereof, and a second radial edge opposite to the first radial edge. The sensor body is configured to be mounted such that a circular gap is formed between the second radial edge and a component configured to be in relation with the first ring. The tool includes a plurality of hooks configured to be inserted into the gap and to reach under the second radial edge.

  • Patent number: 8950944
    Abstract: This instrumented bearing comprises a bearing and a sensor unit for sensing the angular position of the rotatable ring with respect to the fixed ring of the bearing, an encoder element which is fastened to the rotatable ring, and a sensing element fastened to the fixed ring, adapted to sense a parameter representative of the rotation speed of the rotatable ring. The sensing element is mounted in a casing fastened with the fixed ring. The casing provides a peripheral wall mounted on the fixed ring and which includes at least one snap portion adapted to be received in a recess of a surface of the fixed ring, and at least one axial blocking portion adapted to abut against a lateral surface of the fixed ring, perpendicular to the rotation axis of the instrumented bearing. Each snap portion and each blocking portion alternate around a central axis (X6).
