INDUCTIVE SENSOR FOR ROTATIONAL SPEED DETERMINATION WITH INTEGRATED TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

摘要

The invention relates to the use of an inductive signal generator (1), for recording the position, path, angular position, or rotational speed of a moving element, for also generating a signal for the temperature of one or more components (16, 26) arranged near the signal generator. An economical functional rationalisation in a single component is thus achieved. The sensor can display the temperature of a wheel bearing and/or the brakes. Brake overheating or bearing damage can be determined, by means of comparing the temperature on differing wheels.
