  • Publication number: 20230184294
    Abstract: Sensor component with a magnetic field sensor (2) for co-operating with at least one magnet (24, 26) and with a component structure (3), where the magnetic field sensor (2) is arranged on and/or in the component structure (3). In order to reduce the manufacturing cost and/or the assembly effort and/or to be able in a simple manner to position the magnetic field sensor (2) as close as possible to the at least one magnet (24, 26), the sensor component (1) is characterized in that the component structure (3) is in the form of a screw for producing a screw connection (15).

  • Patent number: 11498380
    Abstract: An arrangement of an angle measurement device on the chassis of a vehicle. The chassis includes a control arm (1) and a pivot bearing (2) with a pivot axis. The control arm (1) pivots about the pivot axis and the angle measurement device has a sensor (3) and a signal emitter. The sensor (3) is arranged on the control arm (1), in the area of the pivot axis, and the signal emitter is arranged on the pivot bearing (2).

  • Patent number: 11279191
    Abstract: A ball joint (1), for a vehicle chassis, having a joint housing (3) and a joint body (4) having a spherical portion (5). The joint body (4) is held by the joint housing (3) at the spherical portion (5) of the joint body such that the joint body is mounted for articulation movement relative to the joint housing. A sensor assembly comprises a first sensor element (6) associated with the joint housing (4) and a second sensor element (7) associated with the joint body (4). The second sensor element interacts with the first sensor element (6) in order to sense the position of the joint body (4) relative to the joint housing (3). The ball joint is characterized in that the second sensor element (7) is arranged in the region of the spherical portion (5) of the joint body (4).

  • Patent number: 11192417
    Abstract: An arrangement for connecting a link (1) of a chassis to a wheel carrier (2) by way of a ball sleeve joint (3). The link (1) has an link eye (1a), the ball sleeve joint (3) has a ball sleeve (7), and the wheel carrier (2) has two bearing eyes (4, 5). A sensor is located on the link eye (1a) and a signal generator is located on the ball sleeve (7). The sensor and signal generator form an angle measuring device. The ball sleeve (7) is connected to the bearing eyes (4, 5) via a threaded pin (6). An anti-rotation unit (9, 10) is provided between the ball sleeve (7) and the wheel carrier (2) in order to fix a defined angular position of the ball sleeve (7) with respect to the wheel carrier (2).
