Abstract
A rotational position detector device (20), which is fastenable to a rotary actuator (1) of the type comprising a rotary motor (3,5) inside a housing (2) and a rotary shaft extending therefrom, a turning element (21) adapted to be rotationally fastened to the rotary shaft, said turning element being detectable by at least one position sensor (23), which is adapted to be adjustably fixed with respect to the housing (2). The device is provided with a socket portion (25) which is rigidly connected to the housing and coaxial with said shaft and at least one sensor holder (24) which is rotatably attached to said socket portion and adjustably fixable in chosen angular positions by means of locking cooperation between a resilient engagement means (26,27) on the sensor holder and a surface (30) which is provided with engagement irregularities.
