Abstract
The invention concerns an instrumented bearing ( ) comprising an outer ring ( ), an inner ring ( ), at least a row of rolling elements ( ) arranged between a raceway of the outer ring ( ) and a raceway of the inner ring ( ), an assembly detecting rotation parameters comprising a sensor unit ( ) integral with the non-rotating ring and supporting a sensing element ( ) and a rotating coding member ( ) forming a rotating part with the rotating ring, the coding member comprising an active part moving in rotation in front of the sensing element, the sensing unit and the non-rotating ring forming a fixed part. The rotating part comprises indexing means external to the active part of the coding element and capable of positioning at an angle said rotating part relative to a reference of the fixed part in a position wherein the coder generates in the sensing element a reference signal.
