BALL JOINT FOR A VEHICLE WITH TILT ANGLE MEASURING DEVICE

The invention relates to a ball joint (1) for a vehicle, comprising a housing (2) and a ball pin (3) which extends in an axial direction (A), comprises a joint ball (4) that is pivotally mounted in the housing (2), and extends outwards through an opening (8) of the housing (2). The ball joint also c...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention relates to a ball joint (1) for a vehicle, comprising a housing (2) and a ball pin (3) which extends in an axial direction (A), comprises a joint ball (4) that is pivotally mounted in the housing (2), and extends outwards through an opening (8) of the housing (2). The ball joint also comprises at least one sensor (6) which is used to detect a tilting angle (α) between the ball pin (3) and the housing (2). The joint ball (4) has a flattened region (5), and the at least one sensor (6) is a distance sensor which is arranged on a wall (7) of the housing (2) and lies opposite the flattened region (5) of the joint ball (4). The at least one sensor (6) is oriented such that the sensor (6) detects a distance (d) to the flattened region (5) in a specified measuring direction in order to infer the tilting angle (α) therefrom. The measuring direction is configured such that an injective image is produced between the tilting angle (α) and the distance (d) to be detected.
