  • Patent number: 5011302
    Abstract: A vehicle hub and bearing assembly which includes a sensor for use with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The hub and bearing assembly includes a hub which rotates relative to a bearing pack assembly adapted to be mounted to a steering knuckle to other suspension component. A sensor exciter ring is fit onto the hub and rotates with the hub upon wheel rotation. An ABS sensor is mounted directly to specially formed mounting features defined by the projecting mounting flange of the bearing pack. With the sensor being mounted directly to the bearing pack, an accurate radial clearance between the exciter ring and sensor can be provided with a minimal number of assembled components defining the radial clearance. This design provides enhanced control over sensor radial clearance, tends to maintain radial clearance for a longer period of time, and allows radial clearance to be set for the hub and bearing sub-assembly which does not require subsequent adjustment by the motor vehicle manufacturer.
