Description

Overview

The ABS cable axial mini sensor SAF axle provides accurate wheel speed feedback for trailers running SAF axle sets with ABS braking systems. It delivers a clean, consistent signal so the ABS controller can modulate brake force effectively on heavy linehaul and distribution work. This compact axial mini layout suits workshops that want a direct replacement without modifying the axle beam or hub hardware.

Features

Firstly, the axial mini sensor body locates positively in the 11mm bore used on common SAF axle designs. In addition, the straight 400mm cable length suits short runs from the hub to a nearby junction box on the axle beam. Technicians can therefore route the lead neatly along the axle while keeping strain away from the connector.

• 11mm sensor diameter to match typical SAF axle bores for secure seating in the hub.
• 400mm straight cable that supports tidy routing to the ABS harness connection.
• Axial sensing style that maintains a consistent gap to the tone ring for stable wheel speed readings.
• Compact body that simplifies handling in tight wheel-end spaces during service work.

Specifications and Materials

This ABS cable axial mini sensor SAF axle uses an 11mm diameter sensing head and a 400mm straight lead to suit SAF trailer axle layouts. The design supports harsh trailer environments where vibration, road spray and debris can interfere with less robust sensors. Part number: AB8698.

Compliance and Safety

ABS components such as this axial mini sensor play a critical role in maintaining trailer braking stability during hard stops and low-adhesion events. Additionally, correct installation, air gap and cable routing help prevent intermittent faults that can trigger ABS warnings or reduce braking performance. Always have a qualified technician handle wheel-end work, then confirm ABS operation through the appropriate diagnostic checks for the trailer.

Trailer Applications

This ABS cable axial mini sensor SAF axle suits a wide range of SAF-equipped trailers used in general freight, tanker, refrigerated van and tipper fleets. Moreover, it provides a straightforward solution when you replace damaged, corroded or intermittent sensors during scheduled hub services. Fleet operators can standardise on this style where the axle and hub configuration match the 11mm axial mini sensor format.
