Abstract
The equipment for measuring the speed of rotation of a vehicle wheel (14) carried by a wheel axle (12) comprises a tachometer (30) having a stator (32) suitable for being secured to the wheel axle (12), a rotor (34) suitable for being rotated by the wheel (14), and a connector (110) secured to the stator (32) for electrical connection of the tachometer. The connector (110) includes a set of connection terminals (114A). The equipment further comprises an information transmission member (82) carried by the tachometer stator (32) and suitable for co-operating with a complementary information transmission member (74) constrained to rotate with the wheel (14). Said tachometer connector (110) includes additional connection terminals (114B) to which said information transmission member (82) is connected for transmitting said information.
