Abstract:
A system for sensing relative position between chassis ( 5 a, 5 b) and axle ( 3 ) on a vehicle, which vehicle is provided with a so-called V-rod ( 1 ) mounted between the chassis ( 5 a, 5 b) and the axle ( 3 ) where the pointed end of the V is connected by a ball joint ( 2 ) to the axle ( 3 ) of the vehicle and the opposite ends ( 1 a, 1 b) of the V-rod ( 1 ) are connected to the chassis ( 5 a, 5 b) of the vehicle, which ball joint ( 2 ) comprises a partly ball-shaped body ( 8 ) permanently fixed to the axle or the v-rod, encircled by a complementarily shaped collar ( 9 ) arranged round the whole or parts of the ball-shaped body ( 8 ) which ball joint ( 2 ) is covered by a cap or housing. The system is characterised in that on the ball ( 8 ) or in connection with the housing in the ball joint there are mounted a sensor ( 6 ) and an identification area ( 7 ) which is detected by the sensor ( 6 ) respectively, which identification area ( 7 ) is provided with information for registering position in at least one direction and that the sensor ( 6 ) registers the position of the identification area ( 7 ) in at least one direction.
