Wabco 4410323300 Inductive Proximity Sensor with Socket

Description

This Wabco inductive proximity sensor with socket is designed for use in IVECO vehicles as part of the ABS system. It detects the presence of metallic objects without physical contact, providing crucial data for brake control functions. This sensor features an IP 69K ISO 20653 protection class, ensuring durability in harsh environments and reliable performance. Its axial version and OE specification guarantee a precise fit and optimal functionality. The sensor's dimensions are 20 x 195 x 181 mm and it operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +80°C. The MPN for this product is 4410323300.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor basically detects when a metal object gets close to it without actually touching it. It sends out an electromagnetic field, and when something metallic enters that field, the sensor registers it and sends a signal. Think of it like an invisible switch that gets flipped when metal is near. They often measure distance too, not just presence. In a car, these are used for a lot of things, but since this is listed under ABS sensors, most likely it’s part of your anti – lock braking system. It’s used to monitor the speed of a wheel or drivetrain component. They can also be used for things like detecting the position of the crankshaft or camshaft, but given where it’s categorized, wheel speed is the most likely use. It tells the car’s computer how fast each wheel is turning, which is critical for ABS to work correctly. Sometimes they're used for transmission control as well, confirming gear selection.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s very important because if this sensor fails, your ABS system won’t know how fast your wheels are spinning. That means the ABS can't prevent wheel lockup during braking, reducing your control and increasing your stopping distance. You’ll notice if this sensor goes bad – typically the ABS warning light on your dashboard will illuminate. Without accurate readings from these sensors, the whole system is compromised. You can find these, along with the socket, pretty easily at places like Fixparts Online if you want to take a look. It's a relatively straightforward repair if you're comfortable doing it yourself, but if not, definitely get it checked by a mechanic.
