Abstract
The disclosure relates to an actuator for an axle steering system of a vehicle that includes a push rod which is movable longitudinally within a housing, and a target holder for a target that is fastened releasably to the push rod. The target is designed to interact with a stationary sensor arrangement, and the target holder comprises a base part for receiving the target and at least one first clip contour, which is integrally formed on the base part, engages at least partially around the push rod and has a first clip arm and a second clip arm. The invention further relates to an axle steering system having such an actuator and to a vehicle having such an axle steering system.
Claims20
An actuator for an axle steering system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a push rod movable longitudinally within a housing,
- a target holder for a target fastened releasably on the push rod, the target configured to cooperate with a stationary sensor arrangement to provide an axial position of the push rod, and
- the target holder comprises:
- a base part for receiving the target, and
- at least one first snap-fit contour integrally formed on the base part, the at least one first snap-fit contour:
- i) configured to engage at least partially around the push rod and ii) has a first snap-fit arm and a second snap-fit arm.
An actuator for an axle steering system of a vehicle, comprising:
- a push rod movable longitudinally within a housing,
- a target holder fastened circumferentially around the push rod via a resilient C-shaped contour,
- a target overmolded by a plastic material of the target holder so as to fix the target to the target holder,
- a stationary sensor arrangement mounted to the housing and configured to springably receive the target holder, the stationary sensor arrangement configured to cooperate with the target to provide an axial position of the push rod when the target moves together with the push rod and relative to the stationary sensor arrangement.
