New ABS Sensors: Enhancing Vehicle Safety and Performance

Since its inception in the 1970s, the anti-lock braking system (ABS) has become a standard feature in most modern vehicles, both cars and trucks. A critical component of this system is the wheel rotation sensor, commonly known as the ABS sensor. Due to its pivotal role and exposure to wear, ABS sensors are highly sought after in the aftermarket. Recognizing this demand, Febest Auto Parts is excited to announce a significant expansion of our catalogue, featuring over a hundred new ABS sensors for a wide range of popular vehicles.

The Role of ABS Sensors

The primary function of the ABS is to prevent wheel lock-up during braking, maintaining vehicle control even under hard braking conditions. When a wheel locks up, it can lead to skidding, compromising steering control. ABS sensors monitor wheel speed and detect any wheel lock-up, allowing the system to modulate brake pressure and prevent skidding, thus ensuring safer driving.

ABS sensors are integral not only to the ABS system but also to other advanced vehicle systems such as Electronic Stability Control (ESC). By accurately measuring wheel speed, these sensors provide crucial data that helps maintain vehicle stability and traction.

Types of ABS Sensors

Febest Auto Parts offers a range of ABS sensors, each utilising different technologies:

• Passive Sensors: These sensors use an inductive coil to generate alternating current pulses in response to the rotation of a ferromagnetic disk. While reliable and self-powered, passive sensors offer lower accuracy and performance at low speeds, leading to their gradual phase-out.
• Hall Effect Sensors: These sensors detect changes in the magnetic field caused by the movement of a ferromagnetic ring. Known for their high accuracy and responsiveness, Hall effect sensors are effective at detecting even minimal wheel movement.
• Magnetoresistive Sensors: These sensors measure changes in magnetic field resistance, allowing them to not only detect wheel speed but also the direction of rotation. Magnetoresistive sensors are emerging as the next standard due to their advanced capabilities.

Addressing Common Issues

Despite their reliability, ABS sensors can be affected by factors such as dirt and road debris, which can interfere with their signal accuracy. The most vulnerable parts are typically the wiring and connectors, which are exposed to environmental elements and physical wear. A malfunction in these sensors is often indicated by a warning light on the dashboard.

Febest Auto Parts New ABS Sensor Range

Febest Auto Parts latest catalogue expansion includes 171 new ABS sensor models, catering to a broad spectrum of vehicles from European, Japanese, Korean, and American manufacturers. This comprehensive update ensures extensive coverage and compatibility with many popular models.

Highlights include:

• Versatile Sensors: For instance, the sensor with article number 23606-005 covers multiple VAG models, such as the Audi Q3, Skoda Octavia, and VW Passat, among others. Its design mirrors the original part, ensuring high demand among vehicle owners.
• Durable Designs: Our sensor for the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport, model FEBEST 04606-022, features a reinforced wire with additional protection to withstand off-road conditions and prevent damage.
