SENSOR UNIT AND BEARING ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A SENSOR UNIT

摘要

This sensor unit (4) for sensing the angular position of a rotating element (20) with respect to a fixed element (22), comprises a target (42) fast with the rotating element (20) and a given number of sensing cells (401). Each sensing cell (401) is connected to a connection device (403) adapted to provide power supply, transmit data delivered by the sensing cells (401) and connect each sensing cell (401) to the ground. The sensor unit (4) comprises an output connector (44) for electrically connecting the sensor unit (4) to a reception device, a power supply system and the ground, via a connection cable (50) comprising at least two connection wires (501, 502, 503, 504). The connector (44) comprises, for each wire (501-504) of the connection cable (50), a connection pin (446) having a clamp portion (4460) adapted to receive an end of said wire (501-504), and a plug portion (4464) adapted to make a pressing contact with the connection device (403).
