A monitoring and controlling system for monitoring and controlling various operating characteristics of machine components. The monitoring and controlling system includes a primary transceiver, with sensors and control devices, mounted integrally with the monitored component. The primary transceiver communicates with a secondary transceiver and receives its electrical power from the secondary transceiver without use of interconnecting communication or power cables. The integrated mounting of the primary transceiver and sensors within the monitored component without the use of interconnecting cables allows for replacement of the monitored component in harsh operating environments without the risk of damage to interconnecting electrical connectors and cables. The operating data detected by the sensor for the monitored component is communicated by the primary transceiver and the secondary transceiver to a monitoring network which analyzes the data to determine the need for maintenance of the monitored component.
