  • Patent number: 12188841
    Abstract: An imaging system is for recording images of a raceway of a bearing ring, the ring having two opposing axial ends, a central axis extending between the axial ends, and inner and outer circumferential surfaces. The raceway is formed on the inner circumferential surface or the outer circumferential surface of the ring and has first and second ends spaced along the central axis. The imaging system includes a frame movably coupleable with the bearing ring and having a centerline. A drive is mounted to the frame and is configured to angularly displace the frame about the bearing central axis. An optical imager has a lens and an adjustable positioner is mounted on the frame and is configured to position the optical imager such that the lens is disposed axially between the raceway first and second ends and faces generally perpendicular to the bearing raceway.
