Abstract: A magnetic bearing having a first bearing ring and a second bearing ring arranged concentrically in relation to the first bearing ring. The first bearing ring and the second bearing ring are mounted so as to be rotatable with respect to each other about an axis of rotation by means of electromagnets. The first bearing ring has a first magnet row and a second magnet row. The magnet rows each include electromagnets arranged at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction of the first bearing ring. The electromagnets of the magnet rows are oriented such that they can each exert a magnetic force on the second bearing ring, which magnetic force is oriented transversely to the axis of rotation and transversely to a radial plane which is arranged perpendicularly to the axis of rotation.

Abstract: A bearing or rolling bearing may comprise a stationary first bearing ring and a second bearing ring that is arranged in a rotatable manner about a longitudinal axis relative to the first bearing ring. The bearing may have a first sensor and a second sensor, which are contactless measuring sensors. The first sensor and the second sensor may each have a sensor surface. The first sensor may be positioned opposite an at least partly circumferential reference edge, and the second sensor may be positioned opposite a reference surface. The first sensor can measure a degree of overlap between the sensor surface of the first sensor and the reference edge. The second sensor can measure a distance, in particular a radial distance, between the sensor surface of the second sensor and the reference surface.
