Bearing and interface assembly comprising at least one elastic deformation zone and a braking assembly comprising it

An assembly comprising:

• a bearing (1) comprising a fixed raceway (2) intended to be associated with a fixed structure, a rotating raceway (3) intended to be associated with a rotating member (6);
• and
• a mechanical interface (5) associated with the said fixed raceway (2) by means of association means (7), this interface (5) being intended to be interposed between the fixed raceway (2) of the bearing (1) and the fixed structure, the said interface (5) comprising:
• first means (8) of fixing to the fixed structure;
• second means (9) of fixing a device (10) intended to apply a force to the rotating member (6);
• and
• at least one elastic deformation zone (29-33) able to be deformed under the action of forces exerted on the said assembly, at least one sensor (38) able to measure the said forces causing deformation of said elastic deformation zone (29-33);
• characterised in that the said interface (5) comprises four first projections (34-37) disposed substantially at 90° with respect to each other, defining between them four elastic deformation zones (29-31) on each of which at least one sensor (38) is disposed.
