DEVICE FOR HOUSING A BEARING PROVIDED WITH A SYSTEM FOR DETECTING THE LOAD APPLIED TO THE BEARING

摘要

The bearing holder (1), e.g. moulded in one piece from a metal alloy or synthetic material, comprises an inner component (3) to receive the bearing and an outer component (2) for fixing the holder to a mechanical assembly, with the two components linked by deformable connectors (22). It differs in that the load on the bearing is detected directly by the movement of the of the two components relative to the other and measured by detector portions (13, 20) fixed to the inner and outer components and located close to an axial plane of symmetry perpendicular to the direction of the measured load. The detectors incorporate one or more capacitive or inductive sensors.
