ABS Wheel Speed Sensor Housing Engineering

By Yu Lianbo — Tooling Design Engineer

Why is the ABS family the largest in the catalogue?

Because the housing has to fit a specific wheel-end assembly on a specific vehicle platform, and that geometry is not standardised across models. The result is a long list of similar parts with different heights, diameters and flange details - every one of which can be drawn from the same process family.

Published configurations

121 published configurations in this family. Heights run 0.1-66.0 mm, outer diameters 0.05-25.00 mm, grades used: -.

What the design has to hold

Concentricity between the bore and the mounting diameter, the flange thickness and flatness, and the position of any locating feature. Those are the dimensions that decide whether the sensor reads correctly, so they are the ones specified tightly and gauged.

Grade choice

Stainless steel dominates because the part sits behind a wheel: road salt, water and brake dust. 316 or 316L is chosen for the most exposed locations, 304 where the exposure is milder.

Grade, wall thickness and tolerance are confirmed against the customer drawing. Batch heat treatment, slow wire cutting, passivation, electropolishing, plating, phosphating and coating are placed with qualified external processors and disclosed on the inspection plan. The quality system is ISO 9001:2015 with controls aligned to IATF 16949 requirements.

Frequently asked questions

How many ABS wheel speed sensor configurations does Balford publish?

The published catalogue contains 121 ABS wheel speed sensor configurations, each recorded with height, outer diameter, inner diameter and material per catalogue code.

What sizes are available for ABS wheel speed sensor parts?

Recorded heights run 0.1-66.0 mm and outer diameters 0.1-25.0. Custom sizes are manufactured to the customer drawing rather than limited to the catalogue.

Which materials are used?

The published configurations use stainless steel (confirmed per drawing). Material, temper and wall thickness are confirmed against the drawing before tooling.

What wall thickness is typical?

Wall thickness is confirmed against the drawing; the catalogue records the value each configuration was published with.

How do I get a quotation?

Send a 2D drawing or 3D model with the material, annual volume and the tolerances that matter. A DFM review covering draw ratio, forming stages and thinning comes back before tooling, and the quotation separates tooling cost from piece price.
