A sensor for sensing an angular position of a rotatable element with respect to a non-rotatable element, the sensor comprising an encoder fast in rotation with the rotatable element, and a sensor body fixed respective to the non-rotatable element. The sensor body includes at least one sensing element adapted to sense angular position or rotation speed and direction of the encoder, a signal processor support member, and a sensing data output connector comprising at least one electrical wire connected to the support member. The sensor comprises a tubular body (accommodating the connector), including a first half-shell integral with the sensor body and a second half-shell assembled with the first half-shell around the connector. A tubular body internal surface comprises at least one radial ridge adapted to block a translation of the output connector along a longitudinal axis of the tubular body by penetrating into a sheath of the connector.

Sensor unit and instrumented bearing comprising such a sensor unit

This support member () is for holding at least two sensors with respect to an encoder washer and forms one housing (V) adapted to accommodate the sensors next to each other. This housing (V) has at least two abutment surfaces (A-E,A-E) for positioning each of said sensors along two perpendicular directions (R, R'). The rotation detection set comprises an encoder washer adapted to rotate around a rotation axis, at least two sensors adapted to detect the rotation of the encoder washer around the rotation axis and a support member (). The sensors are mounted in the housing (V) of the support member and immobilized within the housing.

Support member, detection set comprising such a support member, manufacturing method of such a detection set and bearing assembly including such a detection set

A rotation detection set comprises an encoder washer rotatable around a rotation axis, at least one sensor adapted to detect a rotation parameter of the encoder washer through an air gap, a support member for holding the sensor with respect to the rotation axis and a mounting member for immobilizing the support member with respect to a fixed structure. The mounting member is made of one piece of magnetic material and has a first wall located on the same side of the air gap as the encoder washer and a second wall located on the same side of the air gap as the sensor whereas a magnetic body of the encoder washer, the air gap and the sensor are located in a volume defined by the mounting member between the two walls.

Rotation detection set and bearing assembly comprising such a detection set

A motorized steering column module with position control including a moving device that moves a steering wheel in an axial direction, bringing it closer or further away from a selected position, and in a radial plane for regulating upward and downward movement with the aid of at least one electronic motor controller; and a controller that varies the speed of the motor at least proximate a departure position and an arrival position.
