A sensor for detecting a physical variable in dependence on an alignment of the sensor around an axis of the sensor, including: a sensor body having a predetermined first shape feature on an outer surface of the sensor body for enabling a predetermined alignment of the sensor around the axis. Also described is a related system with the sensor.

Sensor, and system comprising the sensor and comprising a fastening apparatus

A magnetic-field (MF) sensor, including: a chip having first, second and third MF measuring-elements (ME) to output first, second and third MF signals, amplitudes of which are proportional to a MF emanating from a rotating-object (RO), in which directions of the normal vectors of the MF MEs are linearly independent; a signal acquisition unit to determine first/second differential-signals (DS), in which the first DS is based on a difference between the MF signals of the first and second MF MEs, and in which the second DS is based on a difference between the MF signals of the first/third MF MEs, and in which the signal acquisition unit is configured to determine a combined signal from the MF signal of the first MF ME and the first/second DS; and an evaluation unit to generate an output signal, which contains a speed and direction of motion of the RO.

Omnidirectional rotational speed and rotational direction sensor

A wheel-speed sensor (WSS), including: an active pulse-sensor (PS) having a detection-direction (DD), and a housing for the PS; a movement of a pulse-generator in the DD is detectable by the PS; the WSS has an axis and axis direction (AD) defined to be aligned perpendicularly to the DD; the housing has first/second-components, the first-component (FC) being enclose-able and to which the FC is connectable; the PS is on the FC; the WSS has a radial-cable-outlet (RCO), aligned radially to the axis to lead a cable out; the RCO integrally formed with the second-component (SC) so that the cable is led in a different direction; the FC has a first-region (FR), and the SC has a second-region (SR), the FR-contour-circumference having a shape-feature in predetermined-angle (PA) steps around the axis, so that an FC orientation is definable in the PA steps to provide a PA around the axis.

Wheel speed sensor for a utility vehicle

A wheel speed sensor for a utility vehicle, including: an active pulse sensor, a housing to at least partially enclose the active pulse sensor, and a protective cap to at least partially cover the housing; in which the wheel speed sensor has at least one component to adapt a temperature resistance capability of the wheel speed sensors so that the wheel speed sensor is usable in a high temperature environment.
