Abstract
A method for assembling sensor on a housing. The sensor provided with a body, a protrusion and an electrical connection cable. The housing being provided with a blind hole shaped to engage with the protrusion of the sensor. The assembly method provides the following phases: a) inserting the protrusion in the blind hole of the housing bringing an end wall of the protrusion into contact with a bottom wall of the blind hole, b) tightening a bushing to a first tightening torque value, the bushing having an external thread that engages with an internal thread of the blind hole and an internal thread that engages with an external thread of the protrusion, in which all of the threads have the same pitch, c) tightening a hexagonal nut to a second tightening torque value.
