Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A bearing ring having a main part ring provided with at least one groove formed a surface of the main part ring. The bearing ring further provides at least one fiber sensor mounted inside the groove. The bearing ring also include at least one counterpart ring mounted into the groove of the main part ring and coming into contact with the fiber sensor to maintain the fiber sensor against a groove bottom, the counterpart ring being secured to the main part ring.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A bearing ring comprising: a main part ring provided with at least one groove formed on a surface of the main part ring, at least one fiber sensor mounted inside the groove, and at least one counterpart ring mounted into the groove of the main part ring and coming into contact with the fiber sensor in order to maintain the fiber sensor against a bottom portion of the groove, the counterpart ring being secured to the main part ring. 2 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the counterpart ring is removably secured to the main part ring. 3 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the groove of the main part ring has a V-shaped cross-section, the counterpart ring being provided with two opposed frustoconical frontal faces each coming into contact with one of the sidewalls of the groove. 4 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the counterpart ring is made of a more flexible material than that of the main part ring. 5 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the fiber sensor comprises a plurality of sensing parts spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, the counterpart ring comprising abutting sections coming into contact against the sensing parts of the fiber sensor, and hollow sections provided between the abutting sections which remain spaced apart from the fiber sensor. 6 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the counterpart ring radially protrudes with respect to the surface of the main part ring. 7 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , wherein the counterpart ring is provided with clipping ribs extending into slots provided on the sidewalls of the groove of the main part ring. 8 . The bearing ring according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one electronic component and/or at least one magnet embedded inside the counterpart ring. 9 . A method for manufacturing a bearing ring comprising: providing a main part ring having at least one groove formed on a surface of the main part ring, at least one fiber sensor mounted inside the groove, and at least one counterpart ring mounted into the groove of the main part ring and coming into contact with the fiber sensor in order to maintain the fiber sensor against a bottom portion of the groove, the counterpart ring being secured to the main part ring, introducing the counterpart ring into the groove of the main part ring, and mechanically securing the counterpart ring to the main part ring. 10 . A bearing comprising: a first ring, and a second ring, wherein the first ring and second ring are capable of rotating concentrically relative to one another, and wherein at least one of the rings include a main part ring having at least one groove formed on a surface of the main part ring, at least one fiber sensor mounted inside the groove, and at least one counterpart ring mounted into the groove of the main part ring and coming into contact with the fiber sensor in order to maintain the fiber sensor against a bottom portion of the groove, the counterpart ring being secured to the main part ring.
