Abstract:
1. A detection system for an articulated joint disposed between a first part and a second part that can pivot at least one of the first part with respect to the second part and the second part with respect to the first part, around a geometrical axis which is a central axis of a pin held in position within a housing formed by the first part the detection system comprising: a detection assembly for detecting a rotation parameter of at least one of the parts with respect to the other, and wherein the detection assembly adapted to be mounted inside a housing of the pin and comprising: at least one rolling bearing, first and second cooperating components, and electrical connecting means adapted to connect the detection assembly to a control unit, and wherein the electrical connecting means comprising: at least one electric cable extending outside the detection assembly and outside the pin, between the detection assembly and the control unit, a bracket adapted to connect the detection assembly to the second part when the detection assembly is mounted within the housing of the pin, and wherein the electric cable has a first portion which extends parallel to the central axis of the pin and outside the detection assembly when the detection assembly is mounted within the housing of the pin, and the detection system includes means to arrange a second portion of the electric cable and a connector provided at the end of this second portion along a first arm of the bracket, on a first side of the arm oriented towards the detection assembly.
