  • Publication number: 20240077384
    Abstract: A sensor module (24) for detecting a mechanical vibration of a component. The sensor module (24) includes a base (26) to be secured on the component, a light emitter (50), a circuit board (28), and a casing (52). The circuit board (28) is mechanically connected to the base (26). The circuit board (28) has a first side (32) facing the base (26) and a second side (34). The light emitter (50) is disposed on the second side (34). The circuit board (28) is housed inside the casing (52). The casing (52) includes a cover (54) and a light guide (56) facing the light emitter (50). The cover (54) has a through-hole (60) inside which extends the light guide (56). One of the cover (54) or the light guide (56) is overmolded on the other.

  • 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: 10704990
    Abstract: A sensor module configured to detect a vibration of a mechanical component includes a base connectable to the mechanical component, at least one spacer extending from the base, and a circuit board connected to the base by the spacer such that a mechanical vibration is transmitted from the component to the base to the spacer to the circuit board. The circuit board includes a circuit and wirelessly transmits signals indicative of a detected vibration. The spacer includes a body portion and a pin portion projecting from an end of the body portion. The pin portion extends into the at least one hole, and the body portion is blocked from passing though the at least one hole by contact with a region of a first side of the circuit board surrounding the at least one hole.

  • Patent number: 9746347
    Abstract: A sensor for sensing an angular position of a rotatable element with respect to a non-rotatable element, the sensor comprising an encoder fast in rotation with the rotatable element, and a sensor body fixed respective to the non-rotatable element. The sensor body includes at least one sensing element adapted to sense angular position or rotation speed and direction of the encoder, a signal processor support member, and a sensing data output connector comprising at least one electrical wire connected to the support member. The sensor comprises a tubular body (accommodating the connector), including a first half-shell integral with the sensor body and a second half-shell assembled with the first half-shell around the connector. A tubular body internal surface comprises at least one radial ridge adapted to block a translation of the output connector along a longitudinal axis of the tubular body by penetrating into a sheath of the connector.

  • Publication number: 20160161522
    Abstract: A sensor-bearing unit, comprising: a bearing including at least one non-rotating ring and at least one rotating ring movable in rotation around a rotation axis; an impulse ring and a sensor device for tracking the rotation of the rotating ring around the rotation axis. The impulse ring is fixed to the rotating ring. The sensor device is fixed to the non-rotating ring and includes a differential detection cell having a structural pitch. The differential detection cell is tilted and has an effective pitch different from the structural pitch. A mechanical system can such sensor-bearing unit.
