ABS wheel speed sensor

The ABS wheel speed sensor is a key component of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and continuously monitors the rotational speed of each wheel. The collected data is transmitted to the ABS control unit, which uses this information to prevent the wheels from locking up during braking and to improve driving stability.

The sensor works in conjunction with a pulse wheel or sensor ring that rotates with the wheel. While driving, the sensor detects the movement of the teeth or magnetic segments of the ring and converts this into electrical signals. These signals allow the control unit to calculate the exact wheel speed and, if necessary, automatically adjust the brake pressure at individual wheels.

ABS wheel speed sensors often operate using Hall-effect or inductive sensor technology. They are designed to function reliably even under demanding conditions. Robust housings, high-quality connectors, and durable cables protect the sensitive sensor electronics from moisture, dirt, vibrations, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
