Abstract
A fixing element, is designed on a fixing ring (2) for a sensor head (1) measuring speed of rotation or angle of rotation of a wheel in a motor vehicle. The sensor head (1) has a housing (11) made of plastic, and at least one housing foot (5) fixed to the fixing ring (2) by the fixing element. The fixing ring (2) serves for fixing the sensor head (1) to a further component, such as a wheel bearing. The fixing element is configured as a T-shaped, twistable lug (7) with a retaining piece (10). The lug extends through a continuous, mainly slot-shaped or long-hole-shaped cutout (6) of the housing foot (5).
