BALL JOINT FOR A VEHICLE WITH A TILT ANGLE MEASURING DEVICE

A ball joint (1) for a vehicle, with a housing (2) and a ball stud (3) that extends in an axial direction (A) and includes a joint ball (4) which, with its joint ball (4), is fitted into and can pivot in the housing (2) and which extends outward through an opening (8) of the housing (2). At least on...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A ball joint (1) for a vehicle, with a housing (2) and a ball stud (3) that extends in an axial direction (A) and includes a joint ball (4) which, with its joint ball (4), is fitted into and can pivot in the housing (2) and which extends outward through an opening (8) of the housing (2). At least one sensor (6) serves to detect a tilt angle (a) between the ball stud (3) and the housing (2). The joint ball (4) has a flattened area (5) and the at least one sensor (6) is a distance sensor arranged on a wall (7) of the housing (2), opposite the flattened area (5) of the joint ball (4), for detecting a distance (d) from the flattened area (5) and, from the detected distance (d) from the flattened area (5), deriving the tilt angle (a).
