A sensor bearing assembly having a rolling element bearing and at least one sensor is provided. The rolling element bearing includes an inner ring, an outer ring, and rolling elements arranged between the inner ring and the outer ring. The at least one sensor is arranged to convert one or more physical magnitudes to electrical sensor signals. The sensor is attached directly or indirectly to the rolling element bearing. The assembly further comprises a converter unit. The converter unit is arranged to convert the electrical sensor signals to output signals, the output signals are different to in type, form and/or amplitude in relation to the electrical sensor signals. The converter unit is also disposed in a separate enclosure that does not share the same enclosure with the sensor.

Sensor bearing assembly

The invention relates to a vehicle steering system having a hydraulic actuator () for generating a steering movement, a rotary hydraulic valve () for hydraulically controlling the hydraulic actuator (), a first electronic drive () for actuating the hydraulic valve () and a first coupling element () for transmitting torque from the first electronic drive () to the hydraulic valve () and for preventing a transmission of torque from the hydraulic valve () to the first electronic drive ().

Vehicle steering system

Steer unit for steer-by-wire comprising angle sensing means () for detecting the angular position of a steering wheel (), processing means () connected to the angle sensing means () and connectable to a wheel position sensor (), the wheel position sensor () being arranged for providing an output signal representing the position of steered wheels () of a vehicle. The processing means () are connectable to a steering actuator () mechanically coupled to the steered wheels (), the processing means () being arranged for driving the steering actuator () dependent on the angular position of the steering wheel (). The steer unit further comprises friction means () for providing a friction force on the steering wheel (), the friction means () being connected to the processing means (), and the processing means () being arranged for driving the friction means () in dependence of the wheel position sensor output signal.

Steer unit for steer-by-wire

King-pin assembly with a sensor (), the King-pin assembly () comprising a Kingpin (), an axle frame (), a spindle () and a bearing () for moveably mounting the spindle () to the axle frame () using the King-pin. The King-pin assembly further comprises a spacer () for holding the axle frame (I) at a predetermined distance from a bearing inner ring (). A housing () is attached to the spacer (), the housing () comprising at least a first part () of the sensor (), a second part () of the sensor () being fixedly attached to the spindle ().
