Abstract: A power sensor assembly including a sensor system having a sensor component, a circuit system, and a power receptacle system contained within a sensor housing, and further including a first power pod system having one or more power sources configured to output electrical energy, a power supply interface system operably coupled with the one or more power sources, the power supply interface system selectively connectable with the power receptacle system of the sensor system to transfer power from the one or more power sources to the sensor system, and a housing containing the one or more power sources and the power supply interface system, the housing of the first power pod system being separate from the sensor housing.

Abstract: A bearing assembly may include an integral sensor module retained within a bore in the bearing housing. The sensor module includes at least one strain gauge oriented to sense a compressive load acting on the bearing housing. The sensor module may be retained within the bore under an axial compressive load. The sensor module may include a power source and a wired or wireless communications module for transmitting information indicative of the compressive load to an external instrument or other system.
