  • Wheel speed sensor for an adaptive braking system
    Patent number: RE29509
    Abstract: The tone wheel is a heavy walled steel stamping having a flanged central opening adapted for pressing on to a pilot turned on the outside surface of the wheel hub, and a cylindrical flange contiguous to the usual offset portion of the brake disc and having teeth formed on its inside surface. The spaces between the teeth are filled with adhesive nonmagnetic material so that the tooth tips and the nonmagnetic material provide a smooth unbroken cylindrical surface. A radial adjustment for establishing a predetermined clearance between a pickup and the tone wheel is provided by a generally rectangular projection on the back of the pickup which fits into an elongated slot in the pickup bracket. The output of the pickup is used to control the adaptive braking system.
