A bearing ring having a main part ring provided with at least one groove formed a surface of the main part ring. The bearing ring further provides at least one fiber sensor mounted inside the groove. The bearing ring also include at least one counterpart ring mounted into the groove of the main part ring and coming into contact with the fiber sensor to maintain the fiber sensor against a groove bottom, the counterpart ring being secured to the main part ring.

The sensor bearing unit provides a bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring centered on an axis, the inner ring mounted on a shaft, and an impulse ring provided with a target holder and with a target mounted on the target holder, the target holder being secured to the inner ring. The target holder includes anti-rotation features adapted to cooperate with complementary anti-rotation features of the shaft so as to prevent angular movement of the impulse ring relative to the shaft by abutment in circumferential direction.

An arrangement of an angle measurement device on the chassis of a vehicle. The chassis includes a control arm (1) and a pivot bearing (2) with a pivot axis. The control arm (1) pivots about the pivot axis and the angle measurement device has a sensor (3) and a signal emitter. The sensor (3) is arranged on the control arm (1), in the area of the pivot axis, and the signal emitter is arranged on the pivot bearing (2).

A roller bearing assembly for determining loads on a roller bearing includes a roller bearing having coaxial inner and outer rings and an axis of rotation, and a plurality of rollers each having a rotation axis being arranged between the rings. At least one ring has recess for receiving a force-measuring pin. A force-measuring pin is received in the recess. The longitudinal axis of the force-measuring pin extends at least partly along the axis of rotation of the roller bearing. The recess and the force-measuring pin extends into a region, which is under a load, of the ring that has the recess such that at least one vertical projection plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rollers extends along the force-measuring pin and a region of maximum load. This allows loads to be reliably measured.

The method concerns the manufacturing of a target holder for sensor bearing unit, having a preliminary step of manufacturing a metal sheet, and a step of manufacturing the target holder. The manufacturing step of the target holder includes a forming operation of the target holder from the manufactured metal sheet providing the target holder with at least an axial fixing portion intended to be secured to a ring of the sensor bearing unit, and with a radial portion extending at least radially with respect to the axial fixing portion, a curved linking portion being formed between the axial fixing portion and the radial portion. At least one of the manufacturing steps comprises a surface roughening operation providing a surface roughness value ranging between 0.05 μm and 0.95 μm.

A wind turbine has a bearing housing, a rolling element bearing within the bearing housing and a space within the bearing housing for containing grease for lubricating the rolling element bearing. A shaft is rotatably supported by the rolling element bearing. A pressure sensor in fluid communication with the space measures the pressure of grease in the space within the bearing housing.

Sensorised wheel hub unit and a method for detecting, in real time, forces and moments applied to an outer ring of the wheel hub unit in which piezoresistive ceramic plates are made of one piece with welded metal plates housed within respective recesses formed in an outer surface of the outer ring over respective races for rolling elements in such a way that there is a gap between the plates and a base wall of each recess; in which the temperature of the outer ring and the amplitude and frequency of first electrical signals (S1) associated with the sensors relating to the same race are analysed to determine a frequency value equal to the frequency of the first signal having the maximum amplitude and as many amplitude values (D1-Dn) as there are sensors associated with that race and each equal to the maximum amplitude of the first signal from each sensor, corrected according to the temperature.

A sensor module includes a metal member having a side surface extending in a ring shape, and a recess recessed from the side surface and extending in a ring shape along the side surface, a resin part filling an inside of the recess, a radiating part provided in the resin part and configured to emit radio waves, a radio communication device provided in the resin part and electrically connected to the radiating part, and a sensor electrically connected to the radio communication device. The metal member is insulated from the radiating part by the resin part, and functions as a passive element.

A sliding bearing element with a first layer having a radially inner surface includes a measuring device arranged on the radially inner surface of the first layer. The measuring device includes, in the order indicated, a first electrical insulating layer, a sensor layer and a second electrical insulating layer. A sliding layer is arranged on the second electrical insulating layer.

A bearing device includes: a magnetic ring fixed to an inner ring; and a stator fixed to an outer ring so as to face magnetic ring. Magnetic ring and stator constitute a claw pole type generator. Stator includes a coil and a magnetic yoke surrounding coil. The magnetic yoke is configured by combining a first member and a second member that are magnetic bodies. First member and second member have an identical shape. Each of first member and second member has a plurality of second claws arranged in a comb shape. A plurality of first claws of first member and the plurality of second claws of second member are alternately arranged on a surface facing magnetic ring.
