Mounting bracket, rolling bearing and corresponding assembly method
First Claim
1. A bracket comprising a part for mounting it on an axisymmetric element wherein the mounting part comprises a body in the general shape of a ring and provided with an annular radial projection, the body comprising an opening allowing a variation in the diameter of said body during assembly so as to engage the projection in a corresponding groove in the axisymmetric element to allow mounting by radial interference, a locking means being capable, after assembly thereof, of prohibiting any such variation in the diameter of the body.

Abstract
A bracket includes a fixing piece on a rotation element (3), said fixing piece comprising a body (22) in the general form of a ring, provided with an annular radial projection (23). The body includes an opening (33) which permits a variation in the diameter of said body (22) on assembly with engagement of the projection (23) in a corresponding groove (9) on the rotation element (3) to give a radial interference fit. A bar (28) prevents a variation in the diameter of the body (22) as above after the assembly thereof.

13. A method of assembling an instrumented rolling bearing comprising a nonrotating part comprising a nonrotating race and a sensor means, a rotating part comprising a rotating race and an encoder means, rolling elements arranged between raceways of the rotating race and nonrotating races, that the method comprising mounting the sensor means on the nonrotating race with the aid of a bracket by varying the diameter of a body of the bracket and engaging a projection of the body in a corresponding groove in the nonrotating race to allow mounting by radial interference, and any variation in the diameter of the body is prohibited with the aid of a locking means.
