To provide a bearing assembly having a temperature sensor built therein, in which
the accuracy of detection of the abnormal temperature is increased, the number
of component parts is reduced and the productivity can be increased, a rolling
bearing assembly (1) includes a sealing member (7) secured to a stationary
bearing ring and a temperature sensor (13) is secured to the sealing member
(7). The stationary bearing ring is an inner race (2) if the bearing
assembly (1) is of an outer race rotating type. The sealing member (7)
is made up of a core metal 9 and an elastic member (10) made of a
rubber or resin. The temperature sensor (13) is fixed to the core metal
(9) of the sealing member (7) either by means of an insert molding
of the elastic member (10) or soldering after forming the sealing member
(7). The temperature sensor (13) is in the form of a chip-type laminar thermistor.
