Wabco 4410320980 Inductive Sensor

Description

This Wabco inductive sensor (MPN: 4410320980) is a critical component within a vehicle’s ABS system, used to detect the speed of wheels for accurate braking control. It is designed for application with ZF systems. This sensor features an IP 6K9K ISO 20653 protection class and operates reliably within a temperature range of -40°C to +150°C. Its radial version and bushing mounting ensure secure and precise installation. The dimensions of this sensor are 20 x 200 x 200 mm and the diameter is 16.0 mm. The open ends electrical connection and OE specification guarantee optimal performance and durability.

Key Features & Benefits

These sensors basically read speed. Not necessarily how fast the car is going overall, but how fast each wheel is turning. They do this without actually touching anything – that’s where the “inductive” part comes in. They create a magnetic field and detect changes as a toothed ring, called a reluctor ring or tone wheel, spins near it. The faster the wheel spins, the faster the changes they detect, and that sends a signal to the car’s computer. The biggest job these have is feeding information to your anti – lock braking system – that’s where the ABS part comes in. The computer uses the wheel speed data to figure out if a wheel is locking up during braking. If it detects one wheel slowing down way faster than the others, it knows you might be losing control and will pulse the brakes on that wheel to help keep it rolling. They also feed information to other systems, like traction control and stability control, which rely on knowing how each wheel is behaving.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if one of these sensors goes bad, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. It might not affect your normal driving right away, but your ABS, traction control, and stability control will be disabled. You won’t get that extra help stopping in a skid. You’ll notice if you're driving and hit the brakes hard, especially in slippery conditions – things will feel a lot less controlled. Getting it fixed is important for safety. You can find these pretty easily, and Fixparts Online has a good selection if you want to check their stock.
