ABSTRACT:
To enhance a detecting capability for monitoring a bearing assembly and also to minimize complication of the structure resulting from increase in functionality, a vehicle mounted bearing assembly51includes inner and outer members2and1with rows of rolling elements3operatively interposed between the inner and outer members2and1, and a rotation detecting sensor4. A sensor output from the rotation detecting sensor4is digitalized by a digitalizing unit101and is subsequently transmitted wireless by a transmitting unit105. One or both of status detecting sensors52, 53for detecting different statuses of the bearing assembly51other than rotation such as temperature and vibration occurring in the bearing assembly51may be additionally employed. A signal coordinating unit104may also be used for coordinating the respective sensor outputs from the rotation detecting sensor and the status detecting sensors to enable those sensor outputs to be transmitted wireless by the transmitting unit105.
