  • Instrumented antifriction bearing and electrical motor equipped therewith
    Patent number: 7429133
    Abstract: An instrumented ball-bearing includes a rotating part, a non-rotating part, and an assembly for detecting rotation parameters. The assembly for detecting rotation parameters includes an encoder and a sensor. The sensor is integrated with the non-rotating part. The sensor includes a sensor unit and at least a microcoil. The microcoil has a substantially planar winding. The microcoil is positioned in the sensor unit of the non-rotating part such that the microcoil is positioned axially opposite the encoder.

  • Bearing support with an instrumented movement and coder for an information recorder unit
    Publication number: 20070053622
    Abstract: The invention relates to a bearing support with an instrumented movement (1), comprising a non-rotating bush (2), a rotating bush (3), roller elements (4), arranged between the rotating (3) and non-rotating (2) bushes and an information recorder unit, with a sensor (7) and a coder (8), comprising a substrate (16) made from an electrically non-conducting material and a thin layer (17) of electrically-conducting material, supported by the substrate (16). The substrate (16) is fixed in rotation with the rotating bush (3).
