A measuring system monitors a spindle. The measuring system includes a cylindrical housing which can be arranged in and mechanically firmly connected to a spindle housing. A carrier ring is arranged inside the cylindrical housing. Three sensors for measuring a radial displacement and three sensors for measuring an axial displacement of the spindle are distributed over a circumference of the carrier ring. The sensors are cast with the carrier ring.

A rolling bearing with an electrical circuit is disclosed. The rolling bearing includes a first electrically insulating layer, at least one second electrically insulating layer deposited directly on at least one surface section of the rolling bearing, a first electrically conductive layer provided over the first electrically insulating layer, conductor paths with contact positions adapted for electrical contacting of electrical components, and at least one second electrically conductive layer. The at least one second electrically conductive layer is structured and supported on the at least one second electrically insulating layer. The first electrically insulating layer and the first electrically conductive layer with the conductor paths and the contact positions are deposited on the at least one second electrically conductive layer.

The present invention relates to a connecting element for electrical and mechanical connection of electronics modules. The connecting element includes a base part having a receptacle area that serves to hold an electronics module, wherein the receptacle area has first electrical contact points for the electrical connection of the connecting element to electrical contact points of the electronics module. The base part includes a first end region having a first recessed section on the top side and has a second end region having a second recessed section on the bottom side. Second electrical contact points for connecting to further connecting elements are disposed on the top side of the first recessed section and on the bottom side of the second recessed section. The recessed sections are designed such that the end regions of connecting elements that are located next to each other can be positioned opposite one another in such a way that the top sides of the connecting elements are located on a plane and the bottom sides of the connecting elements are located on another plane. The second electrical contact points are disposed in such a way that the connecting elements can be positioned at different angles (a) with respect to one another. The invention also relates to an electronic module arrangement having at least one connecting element and an electronics module disposed in the receptacle area of the connecting element.
