Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of detection devices, in particular to a device for detecting the distance between ball centers of a ball pin. Background Art
[0002] A ball stud is a component used in automotive suspension systems, primarily enabling wheel bouncing and steering. Typically connected to a control arm or thrust rod, ball studs connect to other components through the ball stud, thereby transmitting force and motion. During the manufacturing process, ball stud center distance testing is required to ensure quality. Currently, self-inspection of ball studs requires workers to perform measurements at a projector, resulting in low efficiency. The goal is to improve this testing efficiency without impacting production. Utility Model Content
