The rolling bearing with rotating electrical contacts comprises inner (7, 8) and outer (2) races gripping around the rolling elements (5, 6) and is equipped with means permitting the passage of an electrical current between two mechanical components, of which one is rotationally moveable in relation to the other. For this purpose at least one conductive cartridge (21) of generally annular form is mounted substantially in a frontal radial plane of the bearing, the said cartridge comprising two conductive armatures (22, 23), one being able to rotate in relation to the other, each armature being integral with one of the races of the rolling mechanism and at least one conductive element (29) pressed against one of the armatures (22) by at least one conductive elastic element (27) in contact with the other armature (23).
Rolling bearing with rotating electrical contacts comprising inner and outer races between which are disposed rolling elements and at least one conductive cartridge of generally annular form being mounted between the races of the bearing in a radial plane of the bearing, in such a manner as to permit the passage of an electrical current between two components, one of which is rotationally movable in relation to the other, characterized in that said cartridge comprises two conductive armatures, one being able to rotate in relation to the other, each armature being integral with a respective one of the races of the bearing and at least one conductive element being pressed against one of the armatures by at least one conductive elastic element in contact with the other armature.
