DESCRIPTION

The BendixeBay logo® WS-24 wheel speed sensor is an electromagnetic device used to obtain vehicle speed information for an antilock controller. When the wheel rotates, the sensor and an exciter ring (sometimes called a “rotor” or “tone” wheel) generate a simple AC signal. This signal is sent to the controller, which analyzes the data and commands the antilock system accordingly.

Specifically, the speed sensor consists of a coil, pole piece, and a magnet. The exciter is a steel ring or gear-like device that has regularly spaced high and low spots called “teeth.” The sensor is mounted in a fixed position, while the exciter is installed on a rotating member so that its “teeth” move, in close proximity, past the tip of the sensor.

The BendixeBay logo® WS-24 sensor is available in both straight and 90° versions, to accommodate axle/wheel space limitations.

(See Figure 1.)

 

OPERATION

The sensor’s magnet and pole piece form a magnetic field. As the exciter ring passes by the sensor, the magnetic field is altered, which generates AC voltage in the sensor coil. Each time an exciter tooth and its adjacent space move past the tip of the sensor, an AC voltage “cycle” is generated.

The number of AC cycles per revolution of the vehicle’s wheel depends on the number of teeth in the exciter ring, which is programmed into the antilock controller.  Using the programmed data, the controller can calculate “vehicle speed” by analyzing the frequency of AC cycles sent by the speed sensor.  (The frequency of AC cycles is directly proportional to wheel speed.) See Figure 4.

AC voltage is also proportional to speed, but voltage is not used to determine speed.  It is only an indication of AC signal strength.  The amount of AC voltage generated by a specific speed sensor depends on the distance, or “gap” between the tip of the sensor and the surface of the exciter.  Voltage increases as the sensor gap decreases.

Typically, the BendixeBay logo® WS-24 wheel speed sensor is installed in mounting blocks that are welded to the axle housing. (See Figure 2.) The WS-24 wheel speed sensors are protected by a stainless steel sheath. The sensors are designed to be used with beryllium copper or stainless steel clamping sleeves (sometimes referred to as a “retainer bushing”, “friction sleeve” or “clip”) (See Figure 3).  The clamping sleeve provides a friction fit between the mounting block bore and the WS-24 wheel speed sensor.

Note that BendixeBay logo® sleeve part number 5006849 can not be used with the WS-24 wheel speed sensors.  Always use the correct clamping sleeves to avoid problems associated with reduced retention force, such as unwanted sensor movement and resulting ABS trouble codes.
