Abstract
A piezoelectric strain sensor unit for a rolling bearing includes a piezoelectric strain sensor, and a sensor holder provided with a main body having a front face intended to be into contact with a component of the rolling bearing and a rear face, and with at least two flexible arms mounted on the main body and supporting opposite ends of the piezoelectric strain sensor, the piezoelectric strain sensor being axially located on the side of the rear face of the main body while remaining spaced apart from the rear face. The sensor holder is provided with a central pin which protrudes axially with regard to the front face of the main body and which is axially moveable with regard the main body, the central pin axially abutting onto the piezoelectric strain sensor.
