ZERO POSITIONING FOR SENSOR

摘要

An arrangement to establish a zero position for a sensor that serves to detect movement between parts of a technical system that are connected by a ball joint. The arrangement comprising a joint housing of the ball joint rigidly connected to a first part of the system, a ball pin rigidly connected to a second part of the system, and a sensor for detecting the movements of the ball pin. At least a first sensor element is disposed on the ball pin and a second sensor element is disposed on a part of the system that is immovable with respect to the joint housing. An axial area of the lateral surface of the ball pin is flattened and positively locks an inner contour of the mounting eye or a disk-shaped element which abuts the mounting eye and is fixed by positively locking with the second part of the system.
