Abstract: The invention relates to a data capture system and to a processing system (1) for a roller bearing, wherein at least one sensor element (19), conductor strips (4) and electronic components (5, 6) are arranged adjacent to a flexible carrier material (2). The sensor element (19), the conductor strips (4) and the electronic components (5, 6) are directly connected to the flexible carrier material (2) such that said type of data capture system and data processing system (1) can be produced in an economical manner and with varying applications.

Abstract: A measuring arrangement in a roller bearing, which determines the direction of displacement of a displaceable bearing component in relation to a stationary bearing component. Four pressure-dependent resistors (R1, R2, R3, R4) of a bridge circuit are arranged successively in a line, in a measuring area on a bearing component and in a parallel manner in relation to the direction of displacement of the rolling body or the displaceable rolling component. The distance (R1-R2) is exactly the same as the distance (R3-R4) and the distance (R2-R3) is greater than the other distances. The positions of the resistors and the bridge circuit are selected in such a manner that a single output signal with an asymmetrical form is created. The rotational direction is, for example, determined by the evaluation of the deviation of a maximum of the mean position between two adjacent minima.
