Patent ID: 8522621

Claim:
A measurement bearing comprising: a rotational axis and at least one first bearing ring, wherein the first bearing ring defines a main supporting direction and a circumferential direction extending transversally with respect to the main supporting direction, and the first bearing ring is designed to take up bearing forces which have at least one force component in the main supporting direction and, during operation, said bearing forces are applied to the first bearing ring via a plurality of rolling bodies, wherein the first bearing ring has at least one first recess in which a sensor device is arranged, the sensor device is designed to sense a sensing variable which represents the bearing forces which are applied to the first bearing ring, the first recess is arranged in the area of a projection of a movement area of the rolling bodies along the main supporting direction, wherein the movement area of the rolling bodies corresponds to the toroid defined by the rolling bodies rotating around the axis of rotation during operation, and the first bearing ring has at least one second recess, in which a further sensor device is arranged, wherein the further sensor device is designed to sense a sensing variable which represents the bearing forces which are applied to the bearing ring, the first recess and the second recess are arranged a distance apart in the circumferential direction and transversally to the circumferential direction.
