    TECHNICAL AREA
    The present invention relates to the field of rolling bearings, more particularly the field of sensors intended to measure relevant parameters for a rolling bearing, such as, for example, bearing loads and stresses, vibrations, accelerations, the lubricant thickness ...
    BACKGROUND
    It is known to use stress sensors, such as sheet strain gauges, piezoelectric ceramic plates or optical sensors mounted inside a groove machined on a rolling bearing part and fixed with a layer of adhesive.
    However, such a groove has an impact on the part of the rolling bearing on which it is machined and the layer of adhesive affects the transduction capacity of the sensor by adding a shear shift effect.
    In addition, the sensors used in rolling bearings are limited due to the dimensional constraints of the rolling bearing.
    The use of piezoelectric sensors is particularly advantageous insofar as these sensors are capable of detecting a large number of parameters relevant to the rolling bearing. However, current piezoelectric sensors are made from fragile ceramic plates which cannot be glued to a bearing part without machining a flat surface.
    Document US 2016/0115997 A1 discloses a rolling bearing part coated with a wear protection layer made of chromium and deposited in a vapor deposition (PVD) process.
    However, the purpose of such a coating is to protect against wear and has no detection effect.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
    The object of the present invention is to provide a non-invasive and large sensor
    -2 sensitivity for a rolling bearing, capable of measuring stresses, loads, vibrations, as well as the thickness of the lubricant.
    In particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a coated bearing component comprising a metal part and a coating deposited on said part.
    The coating is a multilayer coating having an active layer as a sensor, made of a material having electrostrictive properties, said active layer as a sensor being applied directly to the metal part.
    Electrostriction is a property of electrically non-conductive materials whose shape changes under the effect of the application of an electric field. In general, electrostriction is defined as a quadratic coupling between the stress and the polarization.
    Thanks to a thin layer of an active layer as a sensor having electrostrictive properties directly integrated into a component or part of a bearing, the coating acts as a non-invasive and highly sensitive pseudo-piezoelectric sensor capable of measure stresses, loads, vibrations, as well as the thickness of the lubricant.
    The active layer as a sensor is for example made of aluminum nitride.
    Advantageously, the multilayer coating comprises, successively on the active layer as a sensor, an electrode layer, an insulation layer and a wear layer.
    The electrode layer is for example connected by a wire to a DC direct current while the coated bearing component is connected to a ground wire.
    The active layer as a sensor is subjected to a DC direct current electric field. As the material of the active layer as a sensor is not piezoelectric, it is necessary to induce polarization with this electric field polarized in direct current DC in order to obtain a pseudo-piezoelectric behavior. This pseudopiezoelectric effect gives access to piezoelectric measurement capabilities such as vibration measurements and stress measurements without the need to regulate the growth of polarization during the useful life of the rolling bearing. Polarization is a unique step in the process of building the sensor.
    The multilayer coating is advantageously deposited on the metal part using a
    - 3 sputtering coating process.
    Other techniques can be used to deposit the multilayer coating on the metal part, such as for example a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, dipping methods, molding, spray coating and / or spin coating.
    The multilayer coating is therefore not bonded but deposited on the bearing component using a particular deposition process, so as to avoid a shear shift effect.
    The coating has, for example, a thickness of between 3 μm and 5 μm, for example equal to 4 μm.
    The active layer as a sensor can have a usable bandwidth between 20 MHz and 350 MHz.
    According to another aspect, the invention relates to a bearing comprising at least one inner ring and one outer ring, at least part of at least one of the rings being the coated bearing component as described above.
    For example, at least a portion of the outer cylindrical surface of the outer ring is coated with the multilayer coating and at least the active layer as a sensor overlaps a side surface of the outer ring.
    Alternatively, the electrode layer and the insulation layer may also overlap a side surface of the outer ring.
    The coated component can be part of a rolling bearing having a row of rolling elements arranged between the inner and outer rings and a cage retaining said rolling elements, or of a plain or solid bearing.
    As a variant, the coating can be deposited on any other component of a bearing, for example the inner ring, the cage or the rolling elements, in the case of a rolling bearing.
    One of said components forms the metal part for the coating.
    -4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
    The present invention and its advantages will be better understood by studying the detailed description of specific embodiments provided in the form of nonlimiting examples and illustrated by the appended drawings, in which:
    - Figure 1 is a schematic view of a rolling bearing according to an embodiment of the invention, having a coating; and
    - Figure 2 is a schematic cross section of the coating of the rolling bearing of Figure 1.
    DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    In the following description, the terms external and internal are defined with respect to the axis of rotation XX 'of the rolling bearing illustrated in FIG. 1, the internal term meaning closer to the axis of rotation XX' of the bearing to turnover as the external term.
    If one refers first to Figure 1, which illustrates an embodiment of a rolling bearing 10 according to the invention, said bearing comprises an inner ring 12, an outer ring 14, a row of rolling elements 16 consisting, in the example illustrated, of balls retained by a cage (not illustrated in the figures) between the inner ring 12 and the outer ring 14.
    The internal ring 12 and the external ring 14 are both massive and have a toroidal groove (not shown) provided respectively on their external cylindrical surface 12a and their internal cylindrical surface 14a and forming a raceway for the rolling elements 16. The radius of curvature of the groove is slightly greater than the radius of the rolling elements 16.
    The inner ring 12 and the outer ring 14 are made of metallic material.
    The inner ring and the outer ring 12, 14 can be manufactured by machining or by pressing a steel blank which is then rectified and possibly lapped at the level of the raceway in order to give the rings their geometric characteristics and their surface finish. final.
    As illustrated in the figures, part of the external cylindrical surface 14b of the external ring 14 is coated with a multilayer coating 20 acting as a piezoelectric sensor. Said part of the cylindrical surface 14b forms the metal part for the
    - 5 coating 20.
    Alternatively, it is possible to coat another component of the rolling bearing 10, for example the inner cylindrical surface of the outer ring 14, one of the cylindrical surfaces of the inner ring, the cage or any other component of the rolling bearing .
    The multilayer coating 20 comprises successive layers constituted by an active layer as a sensor 22, an electrode layer 24, an insulation layer 26 and a wear layer 28.
    As illustrated in FIG. 2, the layer active as a sensor 22, the electrode layer 24 and the insulation layer 26 overlap on a lateral surface 14b of the outer ring
    14.
    The electrode layer 24 is connected by a wire 30 to a DC direct current, while the outer ring 14 is connected to a ground wire 32.
    The active layer as a sensor 22 is made of a material having electrostrictive properties, such as for example aluminum nitride, zinc oxide or any other material having electrostrictive properties.
    Electrostriction is a property of electrically non-conductive materials whose shape changes under the effect of the application of an electric field. In general, electrostriction is defined as a quadratic coupling between the stress and the polarization.
    The active layer as a sensor 22 is subjected to an electric field polarized in direct current DC. As the material of the active layer as a sensor is not piezoelectric, it is necessary to induce polarization with this electric field polarized in direct current DC in order to obtain a pseudo-piezoelectric behavior. This pseudopiezoelectric effect gives access to piezoelectric measurement capabilities such as vibration measurements and stress measurements without the need to regulate the growth of polarization during the useful life of the rolling bearing.
    Polarization is a unique step in the process of building the sensor.
    Conventional thin film deposition techniques can be used to deposit the multilayer coating 20 on the rolling bearing component, such as for example a physical vapor deposition (PVD) process, a chemical deposition process in
    - 6 vapor phase (CVD), methods of soaking, molding, coating by spraying and / or coating by centrifugation.
    Preferably, the multilayer coating 20 is deposited on the rolling bearing component using a thin sputtering coating process (about 4 µm).
    The active layer as sensor 22 has a usable bandwidth between 20 MHz and 350 MHz.
    The invention is not limited to a rolling bearing and can be applied to a plain bearing or a solid bearing.
    Thanks to the invention, a thin layer of an active layer as a sensor having electrostrictive properties is directly integrated into a component or part of the rolling bearing providing a coating acting as a non-invasive pseudo-piezoelectric sensor and of high sensitivity, capable of measuring stresses, loads, vibrations, as well as the thickness of the lubricant.
    In addition, the multilayer coating is not bonded but is deposited on the rolling bearing component using a special deposition process so that a shear offset effect is avoided.
    Thanks to the invention, the integration of the sensor is improved compared to a current process which requires bonding / brazing, which compensates for the poor detection performance of the material.
    Finally, the sensitivity of such a multilayer coating 20 is adjustable by adjusting the polarized electric field.
