Abstract
Wheel bearing () has sensor () for measuring rotational or angular movements of a wheel with wheel bearing flange () and roller bearing () attached thereto. Peripheral inner ring () has encoder ring () serving as transducer. To ensure a reliable operating mode even under the influence of dirt and rust and to be able to attach and detach the wheel bearing () with ease, sensor () is attached parallel to its radial reading direction () on radial contact face (), pointing to the plane of encoder ring (), of wheel bearing flange (). Furthermore, sheet-metal part () is fitted on fixed outer ring () of roller bearing (), which sheet-metal part () covers at least the reading area of sensor () and encoder ring () and serves, in circumferential terms, as contact face for sensor ().
