Motion control bearings and methods making such with the capability to monitor properties therein is provided. Devices and methods for creating and using motion control bearings for rotary wing aircraft in particular are disclosed using wireless communication and monitoring of multiple load, motion and health related information items related to the bearing and blade at the wing hub. Static and dynamic blade orientation provides additional information on flight regime, thrust vectors, and gross vehicle weight. Power is provided using kinetic energy power harvesting.
