*4.3.3 Integrated functions*

In recent times, frugal engineering is typically connected with terms like "more for less". In this text, integrated functions can relate to frugal engineering and can be termed as "more functions per bearing". Bearings can be attached with sensors and utilize for the position, speed as well as direction signals. Bearings are integrated with multiple functions like in new generation wheel bearings brake and wheel mountings are combined with bearings. Integrated bearing functions support compactness, reliability improvement, however, in some cases also adds complexity.
