Wabco 4410351270 Inductive Proximity Sensor with Connector

Description

This Wabco inductive sensor with a connector is designed for detecting the position of metallic objects in demanding environments. It is commonly used within drivetrain electronics, specifically as an ABS sensor component. This sensor features a robust design with IP 6K7 / IP 6K9K protection, ensuring reliable operation even when exposed to high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, as defined by ISO 20653. Its OE specification guarantees compatibility and performance, while the radial version and bushing mounting provide secure and precise installation. The sensor measures 20 x 35 x 2940 mm and utilizes an HDSCS male - A electrical connection. Its operating temperature range is from -30°C to +90°C.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor basically detects when a metal object gets close to it without actually needing to touch it. It sends out an electromagnetic field, and if metal disrupts that field, the sensor sends a signal. It’s an electronic switch, really, triggered by proximity. They're often used to confirm the position of something – like a gear tooth, or a rotating shaft. A lot of times these will trigger readings for things like wheel speed, or engine position. Now, in your vehicle, these sensors are often tied into the anti – lock braking system – that’s why you see it listed under ABS Sensors. They're telling the computer how fast each wheel is spinning. It can also be used in things like transmission control, or even to detect if a safety switch is engaged. Basically, it’s providing crucial data to the vehicle's computer so it can make decisions.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this sensor goes bad, the computer isn’t getting accurate information. You’ll likely see an ABS light on your dashboard, and your anti – lock brakes might not function correctly – that’s obviously a safety concern. Depending on where it’s located, you could also experience issues with your transmission shifting, or even engine performance. You’ll notice if it fails, because something related to its function will definitely start acting up. You can find these sensors pretty easily – Fixparts Online carries a good selection, and it's a good place to compare options. It's one of those parts that keeps things running smoothly behind the scenes, so when it goes, it’s noticeable.
