Patent ID: 8075194

Claim:
A wheel bearing, comprising: an inner ring; an outer ring; roller bodies between the inner ring and outer ring; a wheel bearing flange extending radially outward from the outer ring, the wheel bearing flange having a front bearing face and a rear bearing face spaced axially apart from each other by multiple sides with only one of the sides having a single uniformly solid raised portion which extends radially outwardly from the outer ring farther than other sides; a sensor having a sensor cable and a reading region for measuring rotational movements or angular movements of a wheel of a motor vehicle about a radial reading direction, the sensor and the sensor cable are both mounted on the raised portion of the front bearing face of the flange at an axial end of the wheel bearing, the reading region of the sensor facing radially inward; an encoder ring, which is arranged on the inner ring and at the axial end of the wheel bearing, serving as a measured value transmitter, the sensor and the encoder ring being adapted to carry out rotational detection on the axial end of the wheel bearing; and a sheet-metal part, which covers at least the reading region of the sensor and the encoder ring, being fitted onto the outer ring of the roller bearing and serving as the circumferential bearing face for the sensor.
