Abstract
A sensor assembly configured for use in a vehicle suspension system. The sensor assembly including a main body, a nose, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The main body defining a first receptacle and including a first end and a second end. The nose extending from the main body and defining a second receptacle. The first sensor disposed in the first receptacle and configured to measure a first vehicle characteristic of the vehicle suspension system. The second sensor disposed in the second receptacle and configured to measure a second vehicle characteristic, and the second vehicle characteristic being different than the first vehicle characteristic.
Claims20
A sensor assembly for use in a vehicle suspension system, the sensor assembly comprising:
- a main body defining a first receptacle, the main body including a first end and a second end;
- a nose extending from the main body and defining a second receptacle;
- a first sensor disposed in the first receptacle and configured to measure a first vehicle characteristic of the vehicle suspension system;
- and
- a second sensor disposed in the second receptacle and configured to measure a second vehicle characteristic of the vehicle suspension system, the second vehicle characteristic different than the first vehicle characteristic.
A sensor assembly for use in a vehicle suspension system including at least one vehicle wheel, the sensor assembly comprising:
- a housing configured for attachment to at least one component of the vehicle suspension system;
- an accelerometer disposed within the housing and configured to measure acceleration of the at least one vehicle component as the at least one vehicle component is displaced with respect to at least one direction;
- and
- a wheel speed sensor disposed within the housing and configured to measure rotational speed of the at least one vehicle wheel.
A knuckle assembly for use in a vehicle suspension system, the knuckle assembly comprising:
- a knuckle including a knuckle body and one or more arms extending from the knuckle body, the one or arms configured for attachment to one or more components of the vehicle suspension system, the knuckle body provided with a cylindrical portion defining a wheel carrier aperture, the wheel carrier aperture defining a rotational axis of a vehicle wheel;
- and
- a sensor assembly provided with,
- a housing configured for attachment to the knuckle body,
- an accelerometer disposed within the housing and configured to measure acceleration of the knuckle body as the knuckle body moves with respect to at least one direction, and
- a wheel speed sensor disposed within the housing and configured to measure rotational speed of the vehicle wheel.
