Abstract: A wheel end component monitoring system includes at least one wheel end component and an aggregator system operably connected to the at least one wheel end component. The wheel end component includes a component body and a sensor assembly configured to detect an input associated with the component body, output sensor data representative of the detected input, and transmit the sensor data. The aggregator system is configured to receive position information for the wheel end component from a user interface, receive identification information for the wheel end component from the wheel end component, associate the position information with the identification information for the wheel end component, receive the sensor data from the wheel end component, associate the sensor data with the position information for the wheel end component, and output the sensor data together with the associated position information for the wheel end component.

Abstract: A brake chamber includes a chamber housing having an end, a push rod configured for reciprocal movement in the chamber housing in a first direction and a second direction over a stroke distance, a return spring disposed in the chamber housing configured to urge the push rod in the second direction and a sensor assembly having a sensor and a magnet movable relative to the sensor with movement of the push rod. The sensor is configured to detect a magnetic field strength of the magnet and output sensor data representative of the detected magnetic field strength. The sensor assembly is configured to determine a position of the push rod based on the sensor data over the entire stroke distance.
