DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS CONTROL OF AUTOMOTIVE WHEELS TOE-IN Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B62D6/04 G01M17/06 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: proposed device comprises controlled wheels with bearings, sleeves, washers, axles, strain gages, power supply, solenoid, distributing device, working fluid tank, pump and transverse link with reversing mechanism. Strain gages represent road lateral reaction pickups connected in bridge circuit with power supply and solenoid. Solenoid armature is connected with working fluid control valve actuator communicated with working fluid tank, pump and hydraulic cylinder of reversing mechanism that controls operating length of steering transverse link. Sleeves sides have flat flanges with axial ledges to transfer road lateral reactions. Sleeve outer flange ledges are made stepped with tapered ends with their length smaller than thickness of washers fastening said sleeves on wheel axles. Said ledges enter peripheral axial through holes of said washers. There are radial ledges arranged in washer central holes that enter axial grooves on wheel axles.

EFFECT: higher reliability, sensitivity and accuracy.
