INSPECTING DEVICE FOR NONDESTRUCTIVELY INSPECTING A COMPONENT OF A ROLLING-ELEMENT BEARING, ROLLING-ELEMENT BEARING, AND WIND TURBINE

摘要

The invention relates to an inspecting device for nondestructively inspecting a component of a rolling-element bearing (2) having a plurality of rolling elements (6), comprising a sensor retainer (10), which comprises at least one sensor (14) for inspecting the component and which can be inserted into a region (8) between adjacent rolling elements (6) and which is carried along in the inserted state during a rolling motion of one of the rolling elements (6), wherein the at least one sensor (14) can be coupled to the component in order to inspect the component. The invention further relates to a rolling-element bearing having such an inspecting device and to a wind turbine, comprising a rotor supported in a rolling-element bearing and comprising such an inspecting device.
