Abstract
A method for detecting roller spacings in a roller bearing having at least one row of rollers wherein the rollers in the row are held by at least one cage, preferably by a plurality of roller cages. The method uses roller load induced strain signals for determining the roller spacings.
Claims11
A method for detecting roller spacings in a roller bearing having at least one row of rollers wherein the rollers in said row are held by at least one roller cage, the method comprising a step of:
- using roller load induced strain signals for determining the roller spacings.
A data processing device including:
- a wireless transmitter configured to be attached to a roller bearing,
- the device including at least one interface for receiving roller load induced strain signals from a strain sensor,
- wherein the data processing device implements a method comprising a step of:
- using roller load induced strain signals for determining the roller spacings.
