The sensor bearing unit U comprises a rolling bearing 2 including a rotating ring 22 and a stationary ring 24. In the example, the rotating ring 22 is the inner ring, while the stationary ring 24 is the outer ring. The rolling bearing 2 also includes rolling elements which are balls 26 in this example.
In a non-shown embodiment, the rolling bearing 2 may comprise another type of rolling elements, such as rollers or needles.
The sensor bearing unit U includes a pre-stressing element 4 for pre-stressing the stationary ring 24, adapted to exert a pre-stressing force F4 between the housing H and the stationary ring 24. In the example, the pre-stressing element 4 is a wavy spring.
The sensor bearing unit U comprises a sensor unit 6 which includes an impulse ring 62 coupled in rotation to the rotating ring 22 and a sensing unit 64 comprising at least one sensing element 641 mounted in a sensor body 66 which is fixed to the stationary ring 24.
The sensor body 66 comprises an axial surface 661 against which the pre-stressing element 4 exerts the pre-stressing force F4. The sensor body 66 transmits the pre- stressing force F4 to the stationary ring 24 thanks to an axial portion 663 which connects the axial surface 661 to the stationary ring 24.
The sensor bearing unit U further includes an optional sleeve 8 in which the bearing 2 and the sensor body 66 are mounted. The sleeve 8 comprises a cylindrical portion 80 mounted in a bore H1 of the housing H. The cylindrical portion 80 defines an inner bore 800, against which the stationary ring 24 is mounted, the sleeve 8 thereby providing a support for the stationary ring 24. The sleeve 8 aims at compensating the effects of thermal dilatation, which can cause the bore H1 to enlarge and provoke a clearance between the stationary ring 24 and the housing H.
The sleeve 8 comprises an inwardly extending radial portion 82 against which the pre- stressing element 4 is in contact. The axial surface 661 of the sensor body 66 and the radial portion 82 of the sleeve 8 form a chamber in which the pre-stressing element 4 is mounted. The radial portion 82 extends in a circumferential groove 665 of the sensor body 66, which defines the axial surface 661 .
The mounting of the sensor body 66 on the sleeve 8 facilitates the assembly of the The sleeve 8 is made of a metallic material such as steel.
As an alternative, the sleeve 8 can be made of a synthetic material, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Such a material is light, not much expensive, provides electric isolation properties and is suitable for compensating dilatation of metallic rings such as outer ring 24.
The housing H may also be made of a synthetic material such as PET. The housing H and the sleeve 8 may both be made of a synthetic material, or only one of the housing H and the sleeve 8 may be made of a synthetic material.
The sensor body 66 may be attached to the sleeve 8 by any convenient means selected amongst, for example, over molding, elastic mounting, gluing or welding.
The pre-stressing element 4 comprises alternated waves 41 , which are in contact with axial surface 661 , and 43, which are in contact with radial portion 82.
The sensor unit 6 is adapted to transmit sensed data via wire transmission. The sensor unit 6 therefore comprises an output transmission cable 68. In this example, the cable 68 extends in a slightly angled axial direction. As a non-shown embodiment, the output cable 68 may extend in a purely axial direction.
