Rolling bearing apparatus

A rolling bearing apparatus, comprising:

• an axis of rotation;
• a first machine element;
• a second machine element;
• a bearing ring attached to the first machine element and arranged concentrically on the axis of rotation;
• a set of cylinder rollers comprising:
• a plurality of cylinder rollers guided and arranged radially between the bearing ring and the second machine element, the plurality of cylinder rollers being directed radially transverse to the axis of rotation;
• and
• a bypass apparatus forming an electrical connection between the first machine element and the second machine element, the bypass apparatus comprising:
• an electrically conductive bypass conductor formed from loop-shaped stitched fibers;
• and
• a holder attached on the bearing ring radially between the bearing ring and the first machine element, wherein the holder is electrically conductively connected to the bypass conductor and holds the bypass conductor.
