Abstract
A rolling element bearing may potentially experience uneven loads across the length of its rolling elements due to either one or more of design errors, manufacturing errors or installation errors or any combination of these errors. The invention enables a physical measurement to be carried out on these potentially uneven loads on the rolling elements of a rolling element bearing by a technique that makes use of two or more load or strain sensors for measurement of roller load induced strain signals along a length of a rolling element in a rolling element bearing with rollers, such as cylindrical rollers for bearing arrangements.
