  • Rotation sensor-equipped bearing
    Patent number: 9188462
    Abstract: A bearing unit is provided in an inner peripheral portion of a sensor housing in which a sensor portion is installed. The sensor portion includes a sensor mounting substrate and a sensor fixed to this sensor mounting substrate. The sensor housing is provided with an axially extending substrate mounting groove formed in a direction of a chord which will define the circular section of the outer peripheral surface of the sensor housing. The sensor mounting substrate is mounted on this substrate mounting groove to install the sensor portion within the sensor housing.

  • ROLLING BEARING DEVICE WITH ROTATION DETECTION FUNCTION
    Publication number: 20140021945
    Abstract: A rolling contact bearing device with rotation detection function, includes a rolling bearing, a sensor housing, an encoder and a sensor mount board. The rolling bearing is configured to come in contact with an outer peripheral surface of a shaft. The sensor housing that is annular includes a first axial segment forming a bearing mount segment configured to mount an outer ring of the rolling bearing. The sensor housing also includes a second axial segment forming an encoder accommodation segment that is axially offset from the bearing mount segment. The encoder may be accommodated in an interior space of the encoder accommodation segment. The encoder may rotate integrally with the shaft. The sensor mount board is configured to be positioned between the encoder accommodation segment and the encoder. The sensor mount board includes a sensor mounted thereon to sense the encoder.
