A ball-and-socket joint with integrated angle sensor for a motor vehicle, especially for the chassis of the motor vehicle is created. The ball-and-socket joint has a ball-and-socket joint housing (6) provided with a joint opening (7), a ball pivot (1) having a joint ball (2) and a pin (3), which is mounted, with its joint ball (2), rotatably and pivotably in a hollow-ball-shaped bearing surface in the ball-and-socket joint housing (6), and projects, with its pin (3), through the joint opening (7) out of the ball-and-socket joint housing (6). A two-pole field transducer (5) is provided at the end of the joint ball (2) facing away from the pin (3). The poles of the field transducer (5) are arranged on the ball surface. In this case, at least two field sensors (13) are arranged at a distance from one another with respect to the meridian plane defined by the large circle on the hollow-ball-shaped bearing surface running at right angles to the bearing longitudinal axis in the area or on the ball-and-socket joint housing (6) facing away from the joint opening, and interact with the field produced by the field transducer (5).

A dual magnet Hall effect switch for contactless switching is provided. The Hall effect switch includes a magnet carriage and a Hall effect sensor positioned inside a switch housing. The magnet carriage includes two magnets positioned with opposite polarities facing the Hall effect sensor and in contact. When the switch is actuated, the magnet carriage is displaced within the switch housing and relative to the Hall effect sensor. The two magnets positioned inside the magnet carriage are also displaced. The positional displacement of the magnets relative to the Hall effect sensor alters the magnetic field detected by the Hall effect sensor. When the magnetic field detected by the Hall effect sensor reaches a predetermined level, the switch is actuated. The Hall effect switch also includes a boot seal sealing the switch and an internal clicker ball to provide an audible or tactile indication of the switch's actuation.

The invention discloses a resistance device based on magneto-rheological cement and a magnetic control rheostat. The resistance device based on the magneto-rheological cement comprises an insulating sleeve, electrodes, magneto-rheological cement and wiring ends, wherein the magneto-rheological cement is fixed inside the insulating sleeve; the electrodes are distributed on the upper inner surface and the lower inner surface of the insulating sleeve, and are in sufficient contact with the magneto-rheological cement; and the wiring ends are welded on the two electrodes. The magnetic control rheostat comprises excitation coils, an upper magnetic pole, a lower magnetic pole and the resistance device based on the magneto-rheological cement, wherein the resistance device based on the magneto-rheological cement is fixed between the upper magnetic pole and the lower magnetic pole; the excitation coils are coiled between the upper magnetic pole and the lower magnetic pole; the excitation coils, the upper magnetic pole, the lower magnetic pole and the resistance device based on the magneto-rheological cement commonly form a closed bidirectional magnetic loop; and the intensity of a magnetic field of the closed magnetic loop is adjusted by controlling the magnitude of the current of the excitation coil, so that the resistance of the resistance device based on the magneto-rheological cement can be changed. The invention designs the rheostat for controlling the resistance value of the device by a magnetic field generated by the current through using the characteristic that the conduction property of the magneto-rheological cement can be enhanced by additionally arranging the magneto-rheological cement with the increase of magnetic fields. The magnetic control rheostat is applicable to an electronic control system or a computer control system.

A speed adjustment mechanism for a power tool is disclosed.
