  • Patent number: 11987087
    Abstract: The invention relates to a load sensor arrangement (100) for installation on a vehicle axle (106) of a vehicle (108). The load sensor arrangement (100) comprises: a non-invasive load sensor (102) for measuring a load subjected to the vehicle axle (106) and a sensor holder (110). The sensor holder (110) comprises a sensor holding portion (112) and a mounting portion (114). The mounting portion (114) is adapted for attachment to the vehicle axle (106), and the sensor holding portion (112) is adapted for holding the load sensor (102) in a position for direct measuring on the vehicle axle (106). The load sensor arrangement (100) comprises an attachment element (118) for releasable connection of said load sensor (102) to said sensor holding portion (112). The invention further relates to a vehicle axle arrangement, a vehicle, a method of installing a non-invasive load sensor on a vehicle axle, and the use of a load sensor arrangement.

  • Patent number: 9469172
    Abstract: An independent suspension and an independent suspension arrangement for a liftable rear axle of a heavy vehicle are provided. The independent suspension includes a lower wishbone and an upper wishbone hingedly suspended in a support assembly and a hub carrier, and an air bellows and a lifting bellows, where the air bellows is arranged outside of a plane defined by the web of a main frame beam and the lifting bellows is arranged inside of a plane defined by the web of a main frame beam. The independent suspension arrangement includes a left wheel suspension, a right wheel suspension and at least one sub-frame assembly extending between the left and right wheel suspensions, where the left and right wheel suspensions are mounted directly to the sub-frame assembly.

  • Patent number: 6496575
    Abstract: Open, horizontal service platforms are described. Service providers can, via network operators, load software associated with a service onto a dedicated, service platform server. The service platform server is connected, via a LAN, to one or more remote devices (e.g., sensors, transducers, processors, etc.). The functionality associated with the service can be distributed among two or more of the entities involved in the architecture. The distributed software operates and/or monitors these remote devices to implement the subscribed service.

  • Patent number: 6407522
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling the operation of an actuator unit, comprising the steps: a) repeatedly reading the current fed to the actuator unit, b) a first comparison wherein the readings are compared with a first maximum level and if the readings are above the maximum level the electrical power fed to the actuator unit is cut off, c) a second comparison wherein two successive readings repeatedly are compared with each other and if the differences between the readings are below a first ramp level a number a steady state condition for the current fed to the actuator unit is detected, and d) if steady state is detected setting at least one overload detection limit on basis of a steady state reading of the current fed to the actuator unit. The invention also concerns a device for carrying out the method and a conveyor incorporating the device.
