  • Measuring device for measuring an articulation angle and vehicle combination
    Patent number: 10717331
    Abstract: In a measuring device for measuring an articulation angle between a tractor vehicle which has a longitudinal axis, and a trailer which has a longitudinal axis, with a trailer coupling which trailer coupling includes a coupling ball, a ball receptacle which serves to receive the coupling ball, and at least one magnetic sensor it is proposed that the coupling ball have a ball opening, that a magnet be mounted in the ball opening, and that the ball receptacle have a recess, and that the at least one magnetic sensor be mounted in the recess, wherein changes in a magnetic field generated by the magnet are sensed by the magnetic sensor.
