But I suppose one would have to develop different sensors for the different bearing designs also. Oh well...
OH yeah ...can't piezo crystals come to the rescue? As wear limits are exceeded at the race the piezo get squeezed and says "yikes," avoiding the noise problem?

Cost of the device and development vs cost of the ims solution which would negate the use of such a device I'd guess would be an issue...
