ABS Rings & Sensors

ABS Rings & Sensors

At CV Hubs & Bearings, we supply high-quality ABS rings and ABS sensors from leading global manufacturers that are crucial for providing accurate readings that a system’s reliability depends upon.

ABS sensors monitor wheel speed, while an ABS ring provides the rotating target read by the sensor. This provides real-time data to the vehicle’s electronic control unit (ECU), helping to ensure improved traction and safer braking. Critically, an ABS system ensures that the vehicle remains stable under heavy loads, especially when integrated with high-performance wheel bearings.


Manufacturers

CORTECO

As part of the Freudenberg Group, Corteco is a leading supplier of aftermarket ABS rings and sensors. Engineering products to OE specifications ensures long-term reliability and overall precision – even in the harshest operating conditions. ABS sensors made by Corteco can withstand vibration, extreme temperatures, and general contamination, while the brand’s ABS rings offer corrosion-resistant performance for commercial trucks and trailers.

FAG

FAG, a Schaeffler Group brand, manufactures ABS sensors and ABS rings that all meet OE standards to ensure accuracy and durability. Their components are often found in complete truck hub kits and are engineered for a long service life under heavy loads. Precise signal transmission to the ECU supports ABS, traction control, and stability.

FEBI

Febi (Ferdinand Bilstein) manufactures ABS sensors and ABS rings with a strong emphasis on aftermarket practicality. Their components are engineered to closely match OE specifications but are designed to be robust enough for high-mileage, high-use trucks and trailers. ABS parts from Febi are highly reliable and suitable for fleet maintenance.

SKF

SKF, founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1907, is a global leader in bearings and lubrication systems. They bring their expertise to produce highly reliable ABS components. SKF ABS sensors are engineered to maintain precision even under heavy loads, while their ABS rings are machined to ensure perfect performance and accurate wheel speed detection. For a complete repair, see our range of seals and gaskets.


ABS Rings & Sensors: Fast Facts

  • Core function: ABS sensors detect wheel speed, while ABS rings provide the rotating target that the sensor reads.
  • Essential safety: The ABS system ensures smooth anti-lock braking and stability, reducing the risk of skidding. See our HGV braking safety guide for more information.
  • Correct positioning: Sensors must be aligned precisely with the ring; even slight misalignment can trigger faulty readings.
  • Durable under stress: Typically made from corrosion-resistant metals to withstand harsh road debris and heavy loads.
  • Environmental resistance: ABS components are built to resist vibration, heat, water, and other road debris.
  • Minimal maintenance: Most ABS sensors require very little maintenance, but ABS rings will usually be inspected during hub or brake servicing.
  • Failure symptoms: Faulty sensors or damaged rings can trigger ABS warning lights or uneven braking. Learn how to identify ABS faults here.
  • Vehicle compatibility: Design varies by axle and manufacturer, so matching the OE part number is critical.
  • Diagnostics: ABS sensors provide diagnostic tools that help mechanics to quickly identify any wheel-specific faults.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I know which ABS sensor or ring I need?

You’ll need the vehicle make, model, axle position, and sometimes the VIN or OE part number to ensure correct fitment.

Can I replace just the ABS sensor without changing the tone ring?

Yes, if the tone ring is undamaged and clean. However, a worn or corroded ring can cause sensor faults even with a new sensor.

What are the signs of a faulty ABS sensor or ABS ring?

Common symptoms include an ABS warning light, uneven braking, or fault codes during diagnostics.

Are ABS sensors universal?

No. ABS sensors and rings vary by vehicle, axle, and signal output, so correct matching is essential.
