What ABS sensors on SKF hubs?
Hello fellow board members.
We are looking into adapting a abs system into our race car.
In that process wešll need to get new bearings/hubs as the ones we have now are missing the abs sensors.
The ABS supplier needs to know what sensor is used on the SKF hubs,
We hope they are using one of these two: TLE 4941 or TLE 4942-1
Would anyone here know what type is used on the hubs?
In advance thanks!

If that isn't enough info, contact brgguy (bearing guy!!). His name is Ken and he works for SKF, so he can tell you everything you need to know!!!

Basically, it goes like this-
SKF Built the new hubs, everyone loved them. They were made for small axle spline, and passive sensor.
When GM built the ZR1, they wanted to use that hub, however, the bosch ABS they used required the active sensor, and they also stipulated the larger axle spline.
When SKF built them, they would only build that hub with the active sensor, for GM.
So, if you have an early model car, you can get the SKF Hubs anywhere. If you have a new model, active sensor equipped car, you need to purchase them from a GM dealer, and upgrade your axles.

What the guys at bosch said is that they can make it work with the passive sensor as well, and from what you then say i could eventually reuse my shafts as well.
If not ill have to get new bearings all around, and new driveshafts, so i then would have the active sensor.
But what id love to know is if the part numbers i had in the first post is the part numbers on the abs sensor itself??

I went out to the shop and pulled a new one out of the box.
These are the passive version.
On the hub assembly the stamped part number is SKF BAR 5049C
There's a number stamped below which is KOR 1E 014F
On the sensor itself the numbers are
2478
XE-BAR-5039
Don't see any of the numbers you listed above but these might cross somehow.
