Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A wheel speed sensor is provided that makes it possible to suppress unnecessary deformation when crimping a cover. A wheel speed sensor has a sensor head in which a sensor is accommodated, and a tube-shaped metallic cover that covers a portion of the sensor head and protects the sensor head. The cover has multiple protruding pieces on an opening portion, and is fixed against the sensor head by the protruding pieces being crimped toward the sensor head.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A wheel speed sensor, comprising: a sensor head in which a sensor is accommodated, the sensor head is at least partially covered with a resin covering and includes first and second portions, the second portion has a smaller diameter than the first portion so that a ring-shaped surface is formed between the first and second portions; and a tube-shaped metallic cover that covers the first portion of the sensor head and protects the sensor head, the metallic cover is a separate component from the sensor head and includes an opening portion that is configured to slip over the first portion of the sensor head; wherein the metallic cover has a plurality of protruding pieces on the opening portion, and the metallic cover is fixed against the sensor head by the protruding pieces being crimped inwardly toward the ring-shaped surface of the sensor head. 2. The wheel speed sensor according to claim 1 , wherein a bracket for attachment to a vehicle is provided; and the cover is fixed against the sensor head such that the opening portion having the protruding pieces is located on the bracket side. 3. The wheel speed sensor according to claim 1 , wherein the cover has three or four protruding pieces. 4. The wheel speed sensor according to claim 2 , wherein the cover has three or four protruding pieces.
