    摘要: A piezoelectric strain sensor unit for a rolling bearing includes a piezoelectric strain sensor, and a sensor holder provided with a main body having a front face intended to be into contact with a component of the rolling bearing and a rear face, and with at least two flexible arms mounted on the main body and supporting opposite ends of the piezoelectric strain sensor, the piezoelectric strain sensor being axially located on the side of the rear face of the main body while remaining spaced apart from the rear face. The sensor holder is provided with a central pin which protrudes axially with regard to the front face of the main body and which is axially moveable with regard the main body, the central pin axially abutting onto the piezoelectric strain sensor.

    摘要: A sensor unit for a bearing includes a main body, a sensor holder and a mounting bracket. The sensor holder has a measurement surface in a first plane on which at least one sensor is provided for measuring an operating parameter of the bearing. Each mounting bracket has an attachment portion having an attachment surface. The sensor unit is configured to contact the bearing ring that forms part of an assembly in which the bearing is mounted. The sensor holder has one or more extendable legs that are extendable in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the first plane, such that the measurement surface is adjustable in longitudinal direction relative to the main body. The mounting brackets are linearly movable and pivotable relative to the main body. The sensor unit has a first attachment position and a second attachment position.

    摘要: A rolling element bearing may potentially experience uneven loads across the length of its rolling elements due to either one or more of design errors, manufacturing errors or installation errors or any combination of these errors. The invention enables a physical measurement to be carried out on these potentially uneven loads on the rolling elements of a rolling element bearing by a technique that makes use of two or more load or strain sensors for measurement of roller load induced strain signals along a length of a rolling element in a rolling element bearing with rollers, such as cylindrical rollers for bearing arrangements.
