Abstract

A sensor ring is provided for a magnetic measuring transducer of an ABS system consisting of at least two annularly arranged functional elements. The first functional element is formed as a ferromagnetic annular disc element with a flat upper side and a flat underside with a multiplicity of openings. The second functional element, as a non-ferromagnetic element, has either been applied on the upper side and/or the underside of the annular disc element and/or has been introduced into the openings, as an annular disc element. The sensor ring is protected from contamination or damage by the non-ferromagnetic covering. The covering may also be produced by encapsulation or filling, wherein the openings in the sensor ring can be filled with plastic and also the side faces can be coated with plastic.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A sensor ring for a magnetic measuring transducer of an ABS system, the sensor ring comprising:
a ferromagnetic annular disc element having a flat upper side and a flat underside and a multiplicity of openings;
a non-ferromagnetic annular element applied on the flat upper side, the flat underside, or into the multiplicity of openings, wherein:
the ferromagnetic annular disc element has a substantially round central opening configured to be mounted on a wheel hub, and
a plurality of mounting tabs are located on the ferromagnetic annular disc element in a region of the central opening, the mounting tabs not being covered by the non-ferromagnetic annular disc element.

2. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic annular disc elements are securely connected to one another in at least one of a positive and frictionally locking manner.

3. The sensor ring according to claim 2 , wherein the ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic annular disc elements are securely connected to one another via one or more of: bonding, joining, crimping, clamping, screwing, riveting or injection molding encapsulating.

4. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is a foil.

5. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is shaped around an outer edge of the ferromagnetic annular disc element as far as an opposite side.

6. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is made of plastic.

7. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is made of a non-ferromagnetic metal.

8. The sensor ring according to claim 7 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic metal is aluminum.

9. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the ferromagnetic annular disc element has the multiplicity of openings filled with a non-ferromagnetic material in a positive locking manner via injection molding of the non-ferromagnetic material in the openings.

10. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein:
the multiplicity of openings are arranged such that an inner and an outer annular section of the ferromagnetic annular disc element radially bound the openings.

11. The sensor ring according to claim 10 , wherein the multiplicity of openings are arranged equidistantly in a circumferential direction of the ferromagnetic annular disc element.

12. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein a first non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is applied to the upper side of the ferromagnetic annular disc element and a second non-ferromagnetic annular disc element is applied to the underside of the ferromagnetic annular disc element.

13. The sensor ring according to claim 1 , wherein the non-ferromagnetic annular element is applied into the multiplicity of openings.
