An antifriction bearing assembly has rolling elements and a magnetic encoder ring housed in an outer ring with two portions which can have different diameters. A sensor is removably attached to the outer ring in alignment with the encoder ring. Various seal assembly configurations may be used to seal the bearing while accommodating the sensor.

The bearing assembly when pressed on a shaft will be axially located in either direction. The assembly consists of a roller bearing assembly which is pressed into an outer sleeve while entrapping an inner sleeve serving as an inner race. The inner race is pressed onto a shaft and has a turned up flange which serves as a thrust surface on both sides.
