このような構成を備えることによって、ISOまたはJISの規格にある寸法の標準軸受に適用することができる。
<軸受装置の構成>
図16は、実施の形態5の軸受装置1Aの断面図である。これは、たとえば後述する実施の形態6の図17における回転軸Oを含む平面における断面図に相当する。また図16中にて保持部材12に固定される各部材の位置は実際の位置と必ずしも整合しない。図16を参照して、本実施の形態の軸受装置1Aは、軸受2と、センサユニット6Dとを備える。ここで、軸受2は、軸方向の寸法が特定の規格に記載の標準軸受である。標準軸受とは、例えば、ISO規格・JIS規格に記載がある寸法の軸受である。軸受2は、ラジアル軸受であり、軸受2の軸方向の一方の端部から他方の端部までの寸法は、ISO15またはJISB1512-1に規定される寸法である。以下では、軸受2のことを標準軸受2とも称する。
本開示に係る軸受装置1Aは、軸受2と、保持部材12とを備える。軸受2は、外輪3、内輪4、転動体8および上記転動体8を周方向に間隔をあけて複数保持する保持器9を含む。保持器9は、軸方向の一方の端面側が開放され、他方の端面側が連結された形状である。保持部材12は、保持器9の、転動体8よりも一方の端面側の位置に配置される。保持部材12は、外輪3および内輪4のいずれか一方に固定される。保持部材12は金属製である。保持部材12は、径方向に幅を有し周方向に沿って延びる側板部12Cを含む。保持部材12には、電力を生成可能な電源PWRの少なくとも一部と、回路基板13とが固定される。回路基板13は、軸方向について、側板部12Cの、転動体8と対向しない側の面(表面12f)に固定される。
<軸受装置の構成>
以降の各実施の形態における軸受装置の説明において、既出の実施の形態の軸受装置と同一の構成要素には同一の符号を付し、特に構成および機能に差異がなければその説明を繰り返さない。実施の形態6では、実施の形態5の軸受装置1Aに備えられる電源PWRとして、電磁誘導式発電機が用いられる。図17は、実施の形態6の軸受装置全体の斜視図である。図17を参照して、軸受装置1Bは、軸受2と、センサユニット6Eと、磁気リング7とを備える。
