Abstract:
A rolling bearing unit for the hub of a vehicle wheel has an outer rotating race (10), a radially inner stationary race (11), a sealing device (16) between the races (10, 11), and a device for measuring the rotating speed of the outer race (10). The measuring device has an encoder wheel (13) in the form of a radially oriented annular disc of magnetised plastic or rubber material. The rolling bearing has a metallic annular insert (14) adapted for fixing the encoder wheel (13) to the outer race (10); the insert (14) forms: an outer cylindrical portion (14a) for forcefully fitting to an outer surface (10a) of the outer race (10); a radial wall portion (14b, 14d) that concurs in forming an annular seat for accommodating the encoder wheel, and that extends radially inwardly so as to co-operate with the sealing device (16) to close the gap between the races (10, 11); and a joining portion (14c) between the outer cylindrical portion (14a) and the radial wall portion (14b, 14d), on which an axial thrust is applied for performing the force fitting.
Abstract:
A wheel rotating speed detector for detecting a wheel rotating speed of a motor vehicle, comprising: a magnetism generator provided either at wheel of the motor vehicle or a rotary member integrally rotatable with the wheel; a magnetism detector for detecting magnetism generated by the magnetism generator; a change-over switch enabling the magnetism detector to change over from a normal magnetism detecting mode to a low magnetism detecting mode or vice versa.
Abstract:
This ring speed detector is constructed of a magnetic sensor and a magnetic ring and is integrated with the inside of a seal device. The magnetic ring constitutes a part (core bar) of the seal device. This arrangement can enable the compacting and reduction in the number of components and improve space saving and assembling workability.
Abstract:
A combined hub temperature and wheel speed sensor system comprises a sensor assembly coupled to an axle and a wheel assembly fixedly coupled to the wheel, which in turn is free to rotate with respect to the axle. The wheel assembly includes a ring magnet. The sensor assembly includes a temperature sensor in proximity to the wheel bearing, Hall effect sensors positioned to detect the rotation of the ring magnet, and a circuit for generating and transmitting signals corresponding to the wheel rotation speed, rotation direction, and bearing temperature.
Abstract:
This device for monitoring the speed of rotation of an electric motor (10) comprises a unit (16) for controlling the speed of rotation of the motor and a speed limitation unit (14) linked to the control unit (16) and including a processor (24) for comparing between at least one monitoring signal (S′; UPWM) representative of the speed of rotation of the motor imposed on the latter by the control unit (16) and a threshold value (VMAX) corresponding to the maximum value at which the motor (10) is permitted to operate, and a disconnection unit for at least temporarily disconnecting the motor (10) from its supply should the threshold value be exceeded. Prior to each startup of the motor (10), the control unit (16) carries out a phase of testing the correct operation of the speed limitation unit (14) by generating a monitoring signal (S′) corresponding to a speed of rotation value greater than the threshold value. clean paragraphs
Abstract:
A first portion of a perimeter of an outer circumferential portion of a tire is magnetized with a first polarity along the steel belt in one circumferential direction less than 360° and a second portion of the perimeter is magnetized with a second polarity in an opposite circumferential direction. The magnetic field generated by the magnetized steel belt is detected by two magnetic detection elements, which are set so that the magnetic field detection directions of the two magnetic detection elements are parallel to the side surface of the tire, and the two elements are juxtaposed in a direction perpendicular to the side surface of the tire.
Abstract:
A magnetization yoke having an exciting coil wound thereon is arranged to hold a magnetic member and a metal ring so that a magnetic flux passes through and magnetizes the magnetic member in the portion held by the magnetization yoke for successively magnetizing the magnetic member along the circumferential direction thereby multipolarly magnetizing the magnetic member in the circumferential direction. Thus, a magnetic encoder having large magnetization strength and a small magnetization pitch error, a wheel bearing employing the same and a method of manufacturing a magnetic encoder can be obtained.

Abstract:
A tire (12) used includes a steel belt in its outer circumferential portion. A magnetic sensor (14) including a pair of magnetic detection elements (18A, 18B), which are arranged so that their magnetic detection directions become parallel to each other or series each other, is set in the vicinity of a rear tire (12) in a trunk room of a vehicle (10). Changes in magnetic field upon revolution of the tire (12) are differentially detected by the magnetic detection elements (18A, 18B), and the revolution of the tire (12) is detected on the basis of the differentially detected output waveform. Among a plurality of peaks present in the differentially detected output waveform, a peak, the potential difference from the immediately preceding peak of which is equal to or larger than a predetermined threshold value, is detected as an effective peak, which is effective for tire revolution detection, and the revolution speed of the tire is calculated by detecting the number of effective peaks.
Abstract:
The spinning rotors of open-end spinning aggregates are supported on supporting discs. For the purposes of non-contact revolution counting, a front side of a supporting disc is provided with at least one permanent magnet. A signal receiver of a maintenance device selectively arrangeable at the spinning aggregates is arranged at the permanent magnet. The distance between the permanent magnet and the signal receiver is bridged by a ferromagnetic information transmitter, which is preferably arranged on a swivelling housing section of the spinning aggregate.
