Abstract: A bearing assembly, comprising a bearing configured to support a machine part, an installation space configured to receive at least one electronic module, a mount in the installation space that includes an electric line and the electronic module is attached to the mount, one or more continuous electronic conductor paths, and one or more interrupted conductor path that is parallel to the continuous electronic conduct path.

Abstract: A bearing, such as a roller bearing, linear bearing, or a slide bearing, is used to support a first machine element relative to a second machine element. A distance measurement module is integrated within the bearing or near the bearing. The distance measurement module is used for measuring a spatial distance and possibly other physical variables during operation of the mechanical bearing. The distance to be measured is preferably specified between an inner ring and an outer ring of the bearing. The distance to be measured can also represent another physical variable, such as a force derived from the distance.

Abstract: Measuring devices and methods for ascertaining an operating parameter at a shaft are disclosed. The shaft may be supported by at least one bearing. In one example, the measuring device includes at least one first sensor element configured to detect an absolute angle of the shaft and at least one second sensor element configured to detect a change in a distance of the shaft from the at least one second sensor element. A computing device may be configured to calculate one or more operating parameters at the shaft from the absolute angle of the shaft and the change in the distance.
