1. A sensor device for speed measurement on a wheel of a vehicle, the sensor device comprising:

  • a sensor carrier extending longitudinally to define an axial direction, the sensor carrier including an outer surface that defines a plurality of longitudinal grooves recessed therein and extending in the axial direction;

    a sensor integrated in the sensor carrier to sense the rotation of an exciter wheel co-rotating with the wheel; and

    a clamping mechanism integrated in the sensor carrier, the clamping mechanism including a plurality of clamping strips each having an elongated member extending in the axial direction of the sensor carrier within a respective one of the plurality of longitudinal grooves, each of the plurality of clamping strips further including a spring element extending outwardly from the elongated member of the clamping strip in a radial direction, beyond the outer surface of the sensor carrier such that each spring element protrudes from a respective one of the plurality of grooves to engage an inner surface of a holding opening opposite of the sensor carrier outer surface in a region of the wheel, by which the sensor carrier is (i) axially displaceably clampable in the holding opening in a region of the wheel and (ii) clampable in any orientation in respect to rotations about a longitudinal axis of the sensor carrier.
