Abstract
A bearing or rolling bearing may comprise a stationary first bearing ring and a second bearing ring that is arranged in a rotatable manner about a longitudinal axis relative to the first bearing ring. The bearing may have a first sensor and a second sensor, which are contactless measuring sensors. The first sensor and the second sensor may each have a sensor surface. The first sensor may be positioned opposite an at least partly circumferential reference edge, and the second sensor may be positioned opposite a reference surface. The first sensor can measure a degree of overlap between the sensor surface of the first sensor and the reference edge. The second sensor can measure a distance, in particular a radial distance, between the sensor surface of the second sensor and the reference surface.
