Abstract

An axle assembly (5) comprises a sensor (18) and provision of an electrical ground connection from a sensor to a vehicle ground potential in order to provide data about an axle (10) and/or a wheel hub connected to the axle. In particular, an inner surface (14) of an internal cavity (16) of an axle (10) is used as an electrical grounding point for a sensor (18), thereby protecting the ground connection and sensor from harsh environments. In an embodiment, an axle assembly (5) comprises a support member (12) adapted to be disposed within the interior cavity (16) of the axle (10), and the sensor (18) is operatively connected to said support member (12). The sensor (18) comprises an electrical ground input (20) electrically connected to a surface (14) of the axle (10) within the cavity (16). Such an axle assembly (5) may be provided as a constituent component in a vehicle.
