ABSTRACT:
A steering detection device for articulated vehicles, such as consisting of a tractor truck and a semitrailer, connected by a thrust bearing on the truck and having a hole designed to house a corresponding pin on the semitrailer, creating an axis of relative rotation between the tractor truck and the semitrailer. The device has a shaft rotatably mounted to the pin, a sensor connected to the shaft to interact with the thrust bearing when the tractor truck is coupled to the semitrailer, and a transducer actuated by the rotatable shaft to produce electric signals corresponding to the angular rotational movements between the shaft attached to the thrust bearing by means of the said sensor, and the pin, in order to obtain signals relative to the rotation of the tractor truck with respect to the semitrailer.
