Abstract:
1. A roller bearing includes a stationary member, said stationary member including a circumferential surface that is resiliently deformable, said circumferential surface having an instrumented area, said instrumented area having opposed sides and being circumferentially surrounded on each side by a non-instrumented area, said roller bearing having a rigidity of the instrumented area which is greater than a rigidity of the non-instrumented areas, said roller bearing further comprising at least one of means for structural rigidification of the instrumented area and means for structural relaxing said non-instrumented areas, the circumferential surface being formed on an external surface of the stationary member, the external surface of the stationary member having a flange including attaching means, the at least one means for structural rigidification include two axial walls that extend from the flange while being secured to the external surface, each said axial wall separating the instrumented area from a respective one of said non-instrumented areas, said instrumented area being located between said axial walls, and said instrumented area having an angular dimension smaller than an angular dimension of each of the non-instrumented areas.
