Steering angle sensors

The RQH100030 is a hall sensor or possibly a pizeoelectric.

Oh god, the Ackermann steering is horrific in those supersteer machines. Maybe you should install your WAS in the middle of the steering mechanism rather than at the wheel. If you are planning to do U-turns or curve lines it would be nice to have WAS at the middle joint or in the tie-rod so the Ackermann steering does not affect so much your WAS value.

I use this Hall-sensor: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B07PFD816C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It has the advantage, that it can move 360 degrees without stop and can be fittet indivudually. I made myself a holder. It is quite strong as well. I broke the self-printet holder once, but not the sensor.

Is it water proof? Or did you make a box for it?

I build a case/holder, that makes it stronger against water and dirt. Works now for a few month and survived tractor-wash, but of course you should avoid direct pressure water.

Can you share the stl file? If you have 3d printed

ZF AN820031

very low height (8,5mm), need external magnet.
Angle: ±90°
Supply voltage: 5V
Signal: 0,5V to 4,5V
Connector: 30cm cables or Delphi connector

Anybody got a picture of the RQH100030 mounted on a front axle? I need ideas and can’t figure out if I should use the arm included or find another solution.

Under the ram guard in front of the axle of a 716.

A bit tight but it seems to work. I will add extra protection. I wanted it there because the axle and guard tend to be used as tread areas.

I used a simple cad package to make sure the movement was as linear as possible.

Also running a honeywell. Working very well.

I received this sensor Koplamp Level Sensor Voor Toyota Tacoma Mazda RX 8 Lexus RX350 RX330 ES330 IS300 89406 53010 89407 48020 89407 48010|Hoogtesensor van een voertuig| - AliExpress

the - is on the left when the sensor is placed?
how to recognize the pins

I still have not found the + and the - on the pins
can anyone help me thanks

This relates to the sensor Scratch have 2 posts up.

Download the file in post 3 , they open it up (just take off the 4 screws) and you see it is just a potentiometer. Middle is out and the 2 other is ground and +, probably best with only 5V.

Hello,

I think you talk about this sensor. The sensor seems to be a resistor divider (potentiometer)
wit 2 fixed resistor at end. I’d say more -30 to 30 than -45 to 45.
Here is my mounting. I try to keep a 90° angle (wheels straight) between link and actuator to maximize accuracy and to keep symmetri. (connector was not yet installed)

Are you sure it the RQH100030?
The first lever looks too short and the other replaced.

I think there are several types based on same potentiometer
Short actuator (mine) = bmw (mercedes audi)
Long actuator + Connecting rod = land rover (higher suspension amplitude)
Connecting rod is mine

Ok, but I guess the landrover one using (ratiometric) hall-sensors. it works on both sides and can turn 360° with no endstop.

doppelgrau, Can you give more info on the 360 for the land rover?

You can spin the lever freely, no endstops.
And there are two areas where the sensor works (a magnet has two poles …).
