Abstract
A mechanical system includes a sensor bearing unit and a fixed support part. The sensor bearing unit includes a bearing including a first ring and a second ring centered on an axis, an impulse ring secured to the first ring of the bearing, and a sensor device for detecting rotational parameters of the impulse ring. The sensor device has a sensor housing secured to the second ring of the bearing and a cable output that extends radially and is located circumferentially two spaced protrusions of the fixed support part.

A mechanical system comprising a sensor bearing unit and a fixed support part, the sensor bearing unit comprising:
- a bearing including a first ring and a second ring centered on an axis,
- an impulse ring secured to the first ring of the bearing, and
- a sensor device for detecting rotational parameters of the impulse ring, the sensor device including a sensor housing secured to the second ring of the bearing and having a cable output,
- wherein the cable output extends radially relative to the axis and is located circumferentially between two spaced protrusions of the fixed support part.
A method comprising:
- providing a fixed support part having an opening and two circumferentially spaced protrusions adjacent to the opening;
- providing a sensor bearing unit including a bearing having a first ring and a second ring centered on an axis, an impulse ring secured to the first ring of the bearing, and a sensor device for detecting rotational parameters of the impulse ring, the sensor device including a sensor housing secured to the second ring of the bearing and having a cable output extending radially relative to the axis, and
- inserting the sensor bearing unit into the opening with the cable output located between the two circumferentially spaced protrusions.
A mechanical system comprising:
- a fixed support part having an opening and two circumferentially spaced protrusions adjacent to the opening;
- and
- a sensor bearing unit comprising:
- a bearing having a first ring and a second ring centered on an axis,
- an impulse ring secured to the first ring of the bearing, and
