DRIVE AXLE FOR VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F16H59/70 A01D43/00 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to a drive axle for a vehicle. Vehicle comprises stepped gearbox (2). Drive axle, by means of at least one movable actuator (3, 4), enables switching between several gear ratios (N, G₁, G_n). Gearbox comprises a sensor system for recognising the engaged gear ratio (N, G₁, G_n). Sensor system comprises rotation angle sensor (6), kinematically connected to one actuator (3, 4) by means of mechanical guides (7, 8, 9, 21), ensuring generation, depending on the position of at least one actuator (3, 4), signal (S) of the angle, which allows to determine the engaged gear ratio (N, G₁, G₂) of gearbox (2).

EFFECT: simplification of maintenance is achieved.
