Patent ID: 8534126

Claim:
A sensor mounting cover for a rolling-contact bearing comprising: a transverse wall arranged transversely with respect to an axis, a cylindrical wall joined to the transverse wall extending around the axis so as to form a recess with the transverse wall; an axial projection attached to the transverse wall and being provided with a through seat configured to house a sensor, the seat being bounded axially by an outer inlet edge for the sensor and an inner edge defining a window to allow the sensor to face the bearing; and the cover comprising a closure element joined to the axial projection and disposed at least around the inner edge of the seat so as to close the window; wherein the closure element defined by a cup-shaped body and comprises a cylindrical lateral wall, the wall being partially recessed into the axial projection and a membrane attached to the cylindrical lateral wall adjacent to the inner edge so as to separate the seat completely from the bearing to prevent ingress of impurities into the bearing, and wherein the axial projection extends from the transverse wall axially on the opposite side to the recess.
