Abstract
An antifriction bearing equipped with sensors for measuring the length change in the rolling contact between antifriction elements and the outer ring, region vectors are formed and pass via an interface to an evaluation unit disposed outside the antifriction bearing which add region vectors from the sensors in at least three regions and determines magnitude and direction of force on the bearing.
