US 2018/0024156 A1 · Sensor Housing for a Wheel Sensor Device, Wheel Sensor Device and Connecting Component Thereof

Abstract

A sensor housing for a wheel-sensor device for a vehicle includes a first receiving aperture, a second receiving aperture, a first rotational-speed sensor, a rotary transducer, and a second rotational-speed sensor. The first sensor is configured to be inserted into the first aperture, and the sensor housing with the inserted first sensor is configured to be mounted on the vehicle. The rotary transducer is configured to co-rotate with a vehicle wheel and to trigger a change in a first physical quantity. The second sensor is configured to be inserted adjacent to the first sensor in the first aperture or in the second aperture, and the sensor housing, with the inserted first and second sensors, is configured to be mounted on the vehicle. The rotary transducer co-rotating with the rotating wheel triggers the change in the first physical quantity and a change in a second physical quantity.
