KINGPIN ANGLE MOUNTED SENSOR

KINGPIN ANGLE MOUNTED SENSOR

A angle sensor (50) is used for determining the relative position of a streerable wheel hub (24), relative to a fixed wheel mounting hub (26). The angle sensor (50) has a portion (60) mounted on the fixed hub, but received in a recess in the kingpin (34A). The kingpin (34A) has a central bore (52) t...

Zusammenfassung:A angle sensor (50) is used for determining the relative position of a streerable wheel hub (24), relative to a fixed wheel mounting hub (26). The angle sensor (50) has a portion (60) mounted on the fixed hub, but received in a recess in the kingpin (34A). The kingpin (34A) has a central bore (52) tha t receives a movable shaft (62) of the sensor (50) which is driven by the kingpin (34A). As the streerable wheel hub (24) is steered, it rotates about the axis of the kingpin (34A) and rotates the kingpin (34A). The kingpin (34 A) drives the shaft (62) of the sensor (50) to provide for an indication of the amount of pivotal movement between the wheel hub (24) and the wheel mounting hub (26).
