Abstract
A rolling contact bearing is fitted at one end thereof with a sealing device and a device for measuring the relative revolving speed between the bearing races. The sealing device comprises a metal insert ( ) of annular shape fast for rotation with the rotating bearing race ( ). The speed measuring device comprises a multipolar ring ( ) mounted to the metal insert ( ) and provided with magnetized segments of alternate polarity in the circumferential direction. The multipolar ring ( ) is a ring of plastoferrite co-molded to the metal insert ( ). Formed on the insert ( ) is formed a plurality of radial recesses ( ) adapted to yield, in the co-molding operation, a corresponding plurality of radial protrusions ( ) in the multipolar ring ( ). The radial recesses and protrusions ( ) are mutually engaged so as to prevent relative rotation between the multipolar ring ( ) and the metal insert ( ), but allow relative radial displacement owing to thermal variations.
