Abstract
A bearing includes a first ring and a second ring capable of rotating concentrically relative to each other, and at least one distance sensor mounted on the first ring and facing a surface of the second ring to measure radial displacements between the first and second rings. The bearing further includes a control unit connected to the distance sensor and adapted to calculate the value of a deflection of the bearing by subtracting a predetermined value from the value of the relative radial displacement between the first and second rings detected by the distance sensor.
