Abstract

An axially compact rotational sensor adaptable to a drive axle for determining the rotational speed of the differential case which is the average speed of the wheels associated therewith. In a second embodiment dual rotational sensors are incorporated in the drive axle for determining the rotational speed of the differential and one axle shaft permitting calculation of the speed of both axle shafts.
