Instrumented Rolling Bearing Device, Particularly for a Motorcycle Wheel

A two-wheeled vehicle comprising:

• at least one fork for one of the two wheels and having two arms,
• a shaft linked to the fork arms,
• a wheel hub, and
• an instrumented rolling bearing device configured to rotatable mount the hub to the shaft and including a rolling bearing with opposing axial sides and having an outer ring, an inner ring, at least one row of rolling elements arranged between the outer and inner rings, and a sleeve onto which the inner ring is mounted, and a rotational parameter detection assembly including a sensor mounted on one of the axial sides of the rolling bearing, an encoder configured to rotate past the sensor, at least one cable connected to the sensor for the output of signals emitted from the sensor, and an output terminal having an outlet for the cable, being mounted on the other one of the axial sides of the rolling bearing, and providing axial thrust support for the inner ring of the rolling bearing, and
• wherein the sleeve is disposed on the shaft, the rolling bearing supports the wheel hub, and the sensor is disposed on an internal side of the wheel hub.

A method of manufacturing of an instrumented rolling bearing device, for a two-wheeled vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a rolling bearing, a sleeve a rotational parameter detection assembly including a sensor body, a sensor, an encoder, at least one cable, and an output terminal
• overmoulding the sensor body onto the sleeve and onto the cable such that a free end portion of the cable is located axially on a side of the rolling bearing opposite the sensor
• mounting the rolling bearing equipped with the encoder on the sleeve, axially pushing the bearing and encoder on the shaft until the inner ring bears against the sensor body, and
• overmoulding the output terminal onto the free end portion of the cable, onto the sleeve and onto the inner ring of the rolling bearing.
