A Speed Sensor from
ZF, part of the Brakes > Brake Controls > ABS Sensor category, plays a vital role in vehicle dynamics. Installed in ABS systems to monitor wheel speed, it helps prevent wheel lockup during braking maneuvers. This sensor's accurate readings enable the control unit to adjust brake pressure, ensuring improved safety and stability on various road conditions. Dimensions: 30mm x 10mm x 20mm, made in France with MPN 0501215019. Dimensions are provided by the supplier and may include packaging dimensions.
ABS sensors are electromagnetic devices that monitor wheel rotational speed and report this data to the vehicle’s ABS control module. Typically mounted near each wheel hub and brake rotor, they utilize a toothed reluctor ring or magnetic encoder to generate an AC voltage signal proportional to wheel speed. Sensor output is critical for ABS, traction control, and electronic stability control system functionality, enabling precise determination of wheel slip and imminent lockup. These sensors are commonly inductive, Hall-effect, or magnetoresistive, each offering varying sensitivity and temperature range characteristics. Signal integrity is maintained through shielded wiring and robust mounting to minimize interference and ensure accurate readings.
