摘要：A speed sensor (B, C) produces a signal that reflects the angular velocity of ashaft (4) which rotates in a case (2) having a mounting surface (10), beyond which the shaftprojects to provide a target (6), and threaded holes (12) which open out of the mountingsurface. The speed sensor includes a housing (20) and a sensing element (22) which isembedded in the housing. The housing, which is formed from a deformable material, hasslots (44, 60) which align with the threaded holes in the case, and receive screws (24, 66)which thread into the holes to secure the speed sensor to the case. The speed sensor ispositioned such that the proper air gap exists between its sensing element and thetarget. The screws, which extend through the slots, produce indentations (56, 74) in thedeformable material of the housing, and these indentations receive the screws, so thatthe position of the sensor is fixed. Thus, the sensor, if removed, may be reinstalled in thesame location.
