Abstract
The present magnet holder and magnetic sensor bracket provide a robust, easily repaired magnet-and-sensor system. The axle extending through the holder and bracket is easily aligned in a shaft collar in the holder by an interlocking keyway. A slot extending through the collar allows deformation of the split collar to accommodate over-rotation without damage to the collar. The magnet assembly in the holder is held in place based on magnetic attraction, allowing both easy assembly and replacement. Likewise, the potential sensor attachment methods allow easy, rapid fabrication and replacement using assemblies with split sensor channels and retaining rings.
