  • Patent number: 11965908
    Abstract: A device for determining the rotation frequency of at least one wheel of a vehicle provides a first measuring device for measuring an acceleration value of the at least one wheel, a second measuring means for measuring vibrations of the at least one wheel, and a processing unit configured to determine a first rotation frequency of the at least one wheel from the measured acceleration value of the at least one wheel, compare the determined first rotation frequency of the at least one wheel to a first threshold, define a frequency analysis interval from the determined first rotation frequency greater than the first threshold, process a frequency analysis of a signal indicative of vibrations of the at least one wheel for the frequencies inside the frequency analysis interval, and select a second rotation frequency in the frequency analysis interval having the higher amplitude.

  • Publication number: 20240077386
    Abstract: A sensor module (8) for detecting a mechanical vibration of a component (4). The sensor module (8) includes a base (12) having a central portion (24), a first end portion (26) and a second end portion (28). The base (12) secures to the component (4). At least one spacer (14) is connected to the base (12). A circuit board (18) is connected to the base (12) by the at least one spacer (14). The central portion (24) of the base (12) is provided with a concave edge (52) and with an opposite convex edge (54) defining the width of the central portion (24). The at least one spacer (14) is connected to the central portion (24) of the base (12) closer to the concave edge (52) than the convex edge (54).

  • Patent number: 11585385
    Abstract: The sensor bearing unit provides a bearing having an inner ring and an outer ring centered on an axis, the inner ring mounted on a shaft, and an impulse ring provided with a target holder and with a target mounted on the target holder, the target holder being secured to the inner ring. The target holder includes anti-rotation features adapted to cooperate with complementary anti-rotation features of the shaft so as to prevent angular movement of the impulse ring relative to the shaft by abutment in circumferential direction.

  • Patent number: 11460291
    Abstract: A process for determining the total pitch deviation of a position sensor fitted with a magnetic disk and a magnetic detector, the magnetic disk comprising pairs of magnetic poles, the process includes recording, over one mechanical turn, an angular signal of the magnetic intensity measured by the magnetic detector as a function of the angle of rotation of the magnetic disk, determining zero-crossing positions based on the angular signal recorded and the number of zero-crossing position determined, determining the pole pair lengths based on the zero-crossing positions, and determining the total pitch deviation based on the pole pair lengths.
