<p>A bearing, in particular a pivoting bearing, comprises two components (2, 3, 4) able to move in rotation with respect to each other by means of rolling elements (9, 10, 13). At least one through orifice (16) is provided in at least one of the two components between the exterior of the bearing and the bearing clearance (5), and a hollow member (21) is removably inserted into the orifice. The open end (22) of the member is situated at a predetermined distance (D) from the end (23) of the orifice. The member (21) is able to store at least some of the lubricating substance during movement of the rolling parts, which can be sampled and analysed. <IMAGE></p> |
