Abstract
An improved sensor assembly for providing an electrical signal representative of the velocity of a movable body. The assembly includes a sensor for sensing the velocity of the body and providing the signal and a mounting block disposed close to the body for locating the sensor in a predetermined position with respect to the body. The mounting block has a passageway extending through the block for receiving the sensor and for restricting the movement of the sensor along a direction co-existent with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sensor. The sensor itself includes an elongated barrel portion having a sensing tip in one end. The elongated barrel portion includes a shoulder stop located along the elongated barrel portion at a predetermined position from the end of the elongated barrel portion having the sensing tip. The assembly further includes a nosepiece attached to the mounting block which abuts against the shoulder stop of the sensor, thereby restricting the movement of the sensor along the direction co-existent with respect to the longitudinal axis of the sensor to a predetermined position from the body. Thus, once the mounting block has been initially installed, the sen…
