Abstract
A bearing housing with a measurement device incorporating at least two sensors arranged to detect vibrations of a shaft rotatable supported in a bearing in the bearing housing, and arranged to communicate with external data collecting and/or processing means. The bearing housing has a base portion which, for weight reducing reasons, is provided with recessed cavities opening downwards. The sensors are positioned in one such cavity in a completely recessed manner and are arranged to detect vibrations in two perpendicularly opposed directions.
