A tooling for winding a fibrous fabric on a support, allowing gradual modification of the shape of the support as winding progresses, and includes compaction devices to reduce wrinkling of the fabric obtained after compaction.

A bearing arrangement includes a rotation-translation converter, a support component and an axial bearing with a single cage. The rotation-translation converter includes a first component that is axially positionally fixed and rotatable, and a second component that is axially movable by rotation of the first component. The axial bearing is for supporting the first component on the support component. The single cage includes a plurality of first pockets populated by first needles and having a first root circle diameter, and a plurality of second pockets, separate from the first pockets, populated by second needles and having a second root circle diameter that is greater than the first root circle diameter.
