Explanation:
"bague" is a ring, but most probably in this case a "ball-bearing".
A ball-bearing is always followed by a Simmerring (a special ring of rubber).In this case bague may be left out, just a simmerring is enough.

ball race(way)


Explanation:
is what I was going to suggest even before seeing the above answer.

Ball Race
The inner or outer rings that form the tracks for the balls in a ball-bearing.

Glossary of Bearing Terms
Angular Contact Bearing
A type of ball bearing whose internal clearances and ball race locations are such as to result in a definite contact angle between the races and the balls when the bearing is in use

Outer Ring
The outer part of a bearing that fits into the housing and contains the internal raceway for the rolling elements
Inner Ring
The inner part of a bearing that fits on a shaft and contains the external raceway for the rolling elements. Sometimes the shaft is stationary and the housing rotates.

It would have to be a very special ball race indeed though, I should think, in increase life. So it could well be some other ring, i.e. not the one containing the balls.
