Abstract

See full text

A rotary encoder includes a stator and a shaft having a bearing configuration arranged in a housing. The shaft is rotatable relative to the housing via the bearing arrangement, and a rotor is attached to the shaft. A strain sensor arrangement, attached to the housing, is adapted to determine a malfunction of the bearing configuration. The housing has a flexible structure that facilitates transmitting forces associated with the bearing configuration to the strain sensor arrangement. The strain sensor arrangement is adapted to detect tension and/or compression associated with the housing, and a malfunction of the bearing configuration is determined based on the detected tension and/or compression.
