NTN / SNR Venture Produces New Hub Unit Sensor
The recently-formed NTN / SNR Roulements association has produced its first jointly-developed bearing -- a wheel bearing hub assembly unit offering dramatically higher wheel speed data resolution.
With high-resolution magnetic Hall-effect sensors, the new hub units can provide automakers an electronic interface offering far more precise rotation and positioning signals.
The higher resolution signals allow today's advanced electronics to sense and react more quickly to changes in vehicle speed, cornering and braking.
In the past, going for a higher resolution has meant each individual signal had to be proportionately weaker in order to avoid interfering with each other. As the magnetic triggers get closer together, they tend to overlap.
NTN said its breakthrough in offering higher resolution, "was made a reality by blending SNR
