Abstract
Abstract A vehicle wheel brake antilock assembly comprises a sensor. The sensor includes a stator and a rotor for generating a varying electrical signal. The stator has a generally annular stator mounting ring. The stator mounting ring includes protruding members for mounting the ring on an axle in a predetermined radial orientation. Also, the assembly includes an insert mounted on and extending into the axle for receiving the stator mounting ring. An electrical connector is resiliently mounted on the ring and a connector is also mounted on the insert. An anchoring member is provided to anchor the connectors in relative electrical and mechanical connection. The stator ring can then be mounted on the insert in predetermined radial orientation therewith for electrically and mechanically connecting the ring and the insert and for securing the stator ring for limited relative movement with respect to the rotor.
