Speed Sensors: Vehicle, Transmission & Driveline Sensing

This category covers the speed sensor family: 29 catalogued entries identified by OE number for truck applications, including Volvo, Scania and Mercedes-Benz references. Where the ABS pages deal with wheel-end sensing, this family covers the driveline speed sensors, catalogued separately from the wheel-end pages.

Catalogued examples include the Volvo truck speed sensor referenced 265007087, the Scania sensor referenced 211548 (OE 81271210058) and the Mercedes-Benz sensor referenced 211221 (OE 526144). As everywhere in this catalogue, the OE number is the specification: each entry is confirmed against its own listed applications. The two product pages below split the family into vehicle speed sensors and a selection guide for transmission speed sensors, because telling the two apart is the specification question this family turns on.

The three sampled entries show the fields this family is specified by. The Volvo entry 265007087 records two poles. The Scania-applied entry 81271210058 (article OE211548) records four poles and a screw length of 90, printed without a unit. The Mercedes-Benz entry 526144 (article OE211221) records a thread of M18 x 1.5. Where a field is not printed on an entry — a length, a thread, a connector — it is confirmed at inquiry rather than read across from a neighbouring entry.

Order by OE number, not by guesswork

Gearbox speed sensors are specified by the number on the old probe and by the gearbox it screws into. The catalogued references — 265007087, 81271210058 and 526144 among the family's 29 entries — are each checked against their entry's listed applications before a quote is given. State which shaft your fault text names (input, output or retarder), if it names one, and give the vehicle model and gearbox type: those details are what the confirmation is built from. A number that does not appear on this page is checked against the rest of the family and the wider catalogue, not rejected out of hand.

Fitment confirmation checklist

The inquiry should carry four things: the vehicle make and model, the engine type, the OE number from the old part, and any unusual connector or mounting detail. The engine matters more than it looks — one truck model can leave the factory with several engine options and several speed sensor specifications. Confirmation rests on each entry's listed applications; if your exact model is not among them, the reply says so instead of stretching the fitment. Distributors working through a stock list can send the numbers as a spreadsheet and get a matched or not-matched answer line by line.

Packaging, stock and dispatch

Gearbox probes are small threaded or flanged parts covering many gearbox variants; all four packaging options are offered — neutral blue or white boxes where variants must stay uncommitted until labelled, OEMEMBER or UAP branded boxes where the range is listed for resale. The catalogue's availability stands behind the order — more than 100 items dispatchable within 3 days, more than 2,700 within 15 days. Warranty terms are confirmed in the quotation before payment, and certificates are available upon request with the inquiry. File the first order's confirmed OE list with your records and quote it back on any repeat order.
