1. A monitoring device for a railway vehicle, the vehicle including at least one rotating part and at least one bearing, the device comprising:
- an electronic unit configured to attach to the at least one rotating part and including a transducer configured to detect and evaluate at least one parameter, the at least one parameter relating to at least one of rotation of the rotating part and vibration of the bearing, and configured to emit signals representative of the detected and evaluated parameter;
wherein the electronic unit is positioned inside an end cap such that the electronic unit is located completely within an inner wall of the end cap, the end cap being configured to secure the electronic unit outside the rotating part and prevent the positioning of the electronic unit within any recess in the rotating part.
