4410350010 Wabco Sensor With Connector Socket

Wabco 4410350010 Sensor with Connector

Description

This Wabco sensor with connector is an essential component within vehicle ABS systems, providing crucial wheel speed data to the electronic control unit. It is typically used in heavy-duty vehicles and trailers. This sensor is designed to meet OE specification, ensuring reliable performance and durability. It features an axial version with a robust IP 6K8 / IP 6K9K ISO 20653 protection class for resistance against dust, water, and other contaminants. Its dimensions are 25 x 27 x 117 mm. The sensor includes a socket electrical connection and bushing mounting.

Key Features & Benefits

This sensor’s job is pretty straightforward – it monitors how fast each wheel is spinning. It does that by reading a toothed ring, called a reluctor ring or tone ring, that's attached to the wheel hub or axle. Basically, as the wheel turns, those teeth pass by the sensor, and it sends an electrical signal back to the vehicle’s computer – the ABS module. That signal tells the computer the speed of each wheel. It’s a pretty simple principle, but very effective. Now, this signal is key for a couple of things. Primarily, it’s how your Anti – lock Braking System works. The ABS module uses the information from all four wheel speed sensors to detect if a wheel is about to lock up during braking. If it senses that, it quickly pulses the brakes on that wheel, letting it keep rotating and giving you steering control. The sensor also feeds data to systems like traction control and stability control – it's a vital piece of that whole puzzle. Think of the sensor as an “eye” for the car, telling the computer what each wheel is doing.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this sensor goes bad, your ABS light will almost certainly come on. You’ll notice if it’s really failing because your ABS might not engage when you need it, which obviously affects safety. Beyond that, sometimes a failing sensor can even mess with your speedometer readings or cause issues with the transmission. It’s one of those parts where you don’t really think about it until it isn't working right.
