Description

Overview

ABS cable sensor 400mm elbow suits heavy vehicle trailer and truck ABS braking systems that use compact wheel speed sensors. The 90 degree sensor head with bush lets you mount close to the tone ring and route the cable neatly along the axle. As a result, the ABS or EBS controller receives a stable wheel speed signal on loaded and unloaded vehicles.

Features

This ABS cable sensor uses a short 400mm harness that suits tight axle layouts and reduces excess cabling. The angled sensor head supports neat routing around brackets and suspension hardware, which helps protect the harness from chafing and impact. In addition, the integrated bush gives a secure, repeatable installation that keeps the sensor aligned to the tone ring.

Specifications and Materials

This ABS wheel speed sensor assembly has an elbow style sensor head and an integrated 400mm cable for heavy trailer and truck applications that need a compact sensor package near the hub. Part number: AB8690. For a deeper explanation of ABS and EBS wheel speed sensor design and testing, refer to this manufacturer technical guide ABS and EBS sensor testing guide

Compliance and Safety

Correct ABS cable sensor fitment is critical because the braking system relies on accurate wheel speed signals to avoid wheel lock and maintain control. Always route the harness away from sharp edges, moving suspension parts and hot exhaust components, then secure it with suitable clips or ties. Additionally, set the sensor air gap with the axle or brake manufacturer’s procedure so the signal stays stable under all load conditions. When you replace sensors in pairs across an axle, you help the ABS controller read balanced signals and reduce fault codes.

Trailer Applications

Workshops use this ABS cable sensor on semi-trailers, dog trailers, dollies and buses that operate in mixed highway and regional service. The 400mm harness length suits close-mounted sensor locations on steering and drive axles where only a short run to the main loom is needed. Furthermore, the elbow design keeps the connector clear of common debris impact in quarry, tipper and general freight applications.
