Abstract
A wheel-speed sensor mechanism assembly, a vehicle wheel bearing including such assembly and a wheel speed sensor. The assembly includes a vehicle wheel-speed sensor mechanism (such as, but not limited to, an ABS wheel-speed sensor mechanism), a sensor-mechanism housing supporting the sensor mechanism, and an electrical plug. The electrical plug is substantially immovable attached to the sensor-mechanism housing, is electrically connected to the sensor mechanism and is adapted for electrical connection to a vehicle wire. The vehicle wheel bearing includes a target ring attached to a rotatable section of the wheel bearing and includes a sensor mechanism assembly having a sensor mechanism, a sensor-mechanism housing, and the previously-described electrical plug wherein the vehicle wire is a vehicle computer cable. The sensor mechanism senses rotation of the target ring. The sensor-mechanism housing supports the sensor mechanism and is attached to a non-rotatable section of the wheel bearing. In another embodiment, the wheel speed sensor has a target ring, a sensor mechanism, and a bearing seal subassembly together defining a unitized assembly installable as a unit in a bearing cavity of a vehicle wheel bearing.
