ABSTRACT:
Sensors of the type capable of delivering a signal representative of the rotated position of an output member frequently fail prematurely because of excessive side and axial loading and electrical conductor damage. A mounting arrangement for a first sensor has an apparatus for connecting an input shaft of the first sensor to an output member, and apparatus for connecting a body of the first sensor to a housing and maintaining the body against rotation about an input shaft axis and thereby reducing the force applied to the sensor body caused by wobble of the first sensor. The mounting arrangement has a connecting shaft and guide assembly, which guides and protects an electrical conductor both internally and externally of the housing, and the first apparatus permits the passing of the electrical conductor thereby. Therefore, premature failure of and damage to the electrical conductor and the first sensor is substantially reduced. The sensor mounting arrangement is particularly suited for use on a steering axle assembly of a work vehicle.
