Advanced electronic controls for passenger cars rely on dynamic data streams from many parts of the vehicle. The wheel load smart sensing technology in our wheel lateral load sensing bearing provides this data capability, delivering vital speed and load information to all four corners of a vehicle, for both driven and non-driven wheels. The results are improvements in total system handling, efficiency and safety for an affordable price.

Design Attributes

• Proprietary Timken sensing technology provides fast dynamic response at less than 20 mS, delivering full- and real-time data to driven and non-driven wheels.
• Sensing technology is incorporated into bolt-on hub units for quick assembly and to protect sensors from debris and damage during driving.
• Unit provides required data for anti-lock braking, traction control, ride control and other vehicle handling and safety systems.

Applications

• Passenger car and light truck wheel ends
