A bearing assembly 1 is provided with a mounting for a temperature sensor 33 for monitoring the temperature of a race 102 of the bearing 10. The assembly includes a temperature sensor assembly mounted to the race of the bearing and a thermal insulator 31 arranged to thermally insulate the sensor from heat exchange with the surrounding environment and/or neighbouring components to which the bearing or assembly is mounted, in order to improve accuracy, reliability and speed of response of the temperature sensor readings. The temperature sensor assembly may also comprise of a thermal conductor 32 arranged between the sensor and the bearing race. The insulator may be located between the temperature sensor and a structure 20 to avoid dissipating heat into the structure. The temperature sensor assembly may further comprise of housing 30 and preload adjusting means 310, where the adjusting means may be a threaded adjustor or a resilient biasing member. |
