The number of AC cycles per revolution of the vehicle's
wheel depends on the number of teeth in the exciter, which
is programmed into the antilock controller. Using the
programmed data, the controller can calculate "vehicle
speed" by analyzing the frequency of AC cycles sent by the
speed sensor. (The frequency of AC cycles is directly
proportional to wheel speed.) See Figure 4.

AC voltage is also proportional to speed, but voltage is not
used to determine speed. It is only an indication of AC
signal strength. The amount of AC voltage generated by a
specific speed sensor depends on the distance, or "gap"
between the tip of the sensor and the surface of the exciter.
Voltage increases as the sensor gap decreases.

Voltage increases as the sensor gap decreases.
Typically, the WS-24
™
sensor is installed in mounting blocks
that are welded to the axle housing. (See Figure 2.)
WS-24
WS-24
™
wheel speed sensors are protected by a stainless
steel sheath. They are designed to be used with beryllium-
copper clamping sleeves (sometimes referred to as a
“retainer bushing”, “friction sleeve” or “clip”) (See Figure 3).
The clamping sleeve provides a friction fit between the
mounting block bore and the WS-24
copper clamping sleeves (sometimes referred to as a
“retainer bushing”, “friction sleeve” or “clip”) (See Figure 3).
The clamping sleeve provides a friction fit between the
mounting block bore and the WS-24
™
sensor.
Please note that WS-24
™
wheel speed sensors must use
clamping sleeve p/n 5012878 instead of p/n 5006849 (used
for previous wheel speed sensors). Always use correct
clamping sleeves to avoid problems associated with reduced
retention force, such as sensor movement and resulting
ABS trouble codes.

The friction fit allows the WS-24

sensor to "slide" back
and forth under force but to retain its position when the
force is removed.
force is removed.
When the WS-24
™
sensor is inserted all the way into the
mounting block and the wheel is installed on the axle, the
hub exciter contacts the sensor, which pushes the sensor
back. Also, normal bearing play will "bump" the sensor away
from the exciter. The combination of these two actions will
establish a running clearance or air gap between the sensor
and exciter.
