| ASB® is the mechatronic* innovation of SNR - it is a World Standard for OEM. |
| |
| ASB® (Active Sensor Bearing) wheel bearing is equipped with a magnetically encoded seal, actuating an adjacent sensor, which instantly communicates digital signals to the computer and systems of the car, providing the correct operation of many essential systems such as: |
| |
|
ABS : prevents wheel lock-up under heavy braking |
|
|
|
|
Electric motor brake : prevents the vehicle moving backwards when stopped on a hill |
|
|
|
ESP function : allows the vehicle to maintain stability in the event of loss of tyre grip on the road (slip) |
|
|
|
Navigation :even in a tunnel, the ASB® makes it possible to locate your position |
|
| |
| Other application fields of ASB® technology are numerous: brakes, steering, suspension, powertrain. |
| The SNR Mechatronics department is developing tomorrow's mechatronic products: |
| • ASB2 angle position sensing technology for automotive steering |
| • ASB3 sensing of wheel loads to control traction capability |
| |
