Abstract:
A sensorized roller of a bearing, the sensorized roller having a sensor module located within an axially extending hollow cylindrical bore. The sensor module is equipped with one or more deformation sensors for detecting deformation of the roller bore due to a radial load acting on the roller. The sensor module comprises a rigid housing that is shaped to fit inside the roller bore and is mounted to the roller bore with a small radial clearance between an outer cylindrical surface of the housing an inner cylindrical surface of the bore. Each of the one or more deformation sensors is formed by a proximity sensor that is accommodated at the outer cylindrical surface of the housing. A sensing element of the proximity sensor faces the inner cylindrical surface of the roller bore and measures a radial gap therebetween; the radial gap being indicative of bore deformation.

Claim (Index 1):
A sensorized roller of a bearing, the sensorized roller comprising:\n a hollow bore extending in an axial direction of the roller; a sensor module being arranged within the roller bore, the sensor module comprising:\n at least one deformation sensor for detecting deformation of the roller bore due to a radial load acting on the roller, and \n a rigid housing that is shaped to fit inside the roller bore and is mounted within the inside of the roller bore having a small radial clearance between an outer cylindrical surface of the housing an inner cylindrical surface of the roller bore, \n wherein each of the at least one deformation sensor is formed as a proximity sensor that is accommodated at the outer cylindrical surface of the housing such that a sensing element of the proximity sensor faces a radially inner surface of the roller bore and measures a radial gap therebetween.
