Abstract
The invention relates to a rotatable antifriction bearing (1) having a first bearing ring (2), a second bearing ring (3) which can be rotated with respect to the first bearing ring (2), and a plurality of rolling bodies (4) which are arranged between the first and the second bearing ring (2, 3), at least one rolling body (4) being configured as an electric sensor in such a way that the rolling body (4) is set up for changing a directly electrically detectable characteristic variable as a function of a force which is exerted on said rolling body (4). Moreover, the invention relates to a rolling body for an antifriction bearing of this type, and to a device having an antifriction bearing and an electric monitoring device.
