ABSTRACT:
The invention pertains to the arrangement of a sensor housing (5) on a wall (2) on which the sensor housing (5) is held by means of a threaded nipple (4) in a tapped hole (3). In order to protect the sensor housing against disturbing environmental factors, especially dirt, moisture and wind without impairing the accessibility of torque transmitting features adjacent to the threaded nipple (4), an attachment (12) arranged on the wall (2) centrally around the sensor housing (5) is provided on whose cylindrical surface (13) facing toward the inner side the edge (15) of a soft elastic washer (14) engages. The washer also is sealably connected to the sensor housing (5). The washer (14) and the attachment (12) form a chamber (16) encapsulating the sensor housing (5). When a tool is positioned on the torque transmitting features the washer (14) yields elastically. Additional encapsulation is unnecessary to protect the sensor housing (5). The mounting activity is not impaired by the protection provided.
