  • Calculation method of strains applied between a rotating part and a bearing on which it rotates
    Patent number: 6873925
    Abstract: A method of calculating forces applied at an interface between a revolving element and a support on which the element revolves using a set of fixed sensors capable of delivering three independent signals representative of forces being applied on a fixed race of a bearing. The method is an iterative processing procedure and a calibration procedure, which is carried out before a first iteration of the processing procedure. The invention also applies such a method to the case of a tyre running on a road.

  • Calculation method of strains applied between a rotating part and a bearing on which it rotates
    Publication number: 20030212521
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of calculating the forces (Fxw, Fyw, Fzw) applied at an interface (Q) between a revolving element (1) and a support (2) on which said element revolves, said method using a set of fixed sensors capable of delivering three independent signals (S1, S2, S3) representative of the forces being applied on the fixed race of the bearing, said method comprising an iterative processing procedure and a calibration procedure which is carried out before the first iteration of the processing procedure.

  • Bearing and interface assembly comprising at least one elastic deformation zone and a braking assembly comprising it
    Patent number: 6634208
    Abstract: The object of the invention is an assembly comprising a bearing (1) and a mechanical interface (5) associated, by means of association means (7), with the fixed raceway (2) of the bearing (1), this interface (5) being intended to be interposed between the fixed raceway (2) of the bearing (1) and the fixed structure, the said interface (5) comprising: first means (8) of fixing to the fixed structure; second means (9) of fixing a device (10) intended to apply a force to the rotating member (6); and at least one elastic deformation zone (29-33) able to be deformed under the action of forces exerted on the said assembly, at least one sensor (38) able to measure the said forces being functionally associated with the said elastic deformation zone (29-33).

  • Bearing including at least one elastic deformation zone and a braking assemly including such a bearing
    Patent number: 6619102
    Abstract: A bearing of the type comprising a fixed raceway (2) intended to be associated with a fixed structure, a rotating raceway (3) intended to be associated with a rotating member (6, 8, 9) and rolling bodies disposed between them, in which the fixed raceway (2) comprises first means (5) of fixing the said bearing (1) to the fixed structure. The fixed raceway (2) comprises at least one elastic deformation zone able to be deformed under the action of forces exerted on the said bearing (1). At least one sensor (26) able to measure the said forces is functionally associated with the said elastic deformation zone.
