Abstract
A sensorized roller for a rolling bearing includes a roller body having an axial length and a bore that extends axial through the roller body and a housing in the roller bore. The housing includes a central sensing module having an axial length and at least one sensor in the central sensing module configured to measure at least one parameter related to a condition of the sensorized roller, an antenna module having an axial length that is secured to a first axial end of the central sensing module and a power module having an axial length that is secured to a second axial end of the central sensing module.
