Abstract
The object is to ensure the absence of friction between a housing supporting a sensor and a mounting arranged to support a target, and the absence of load take-up resulting from the contact and lack of precision among mounting interfaces. This involves forming, in a mounting position, a clearance between the mounting and the housing and then releasing the target mounting in the operative position of the sensor. A cylindrical recess for freely receiving with a clearance the mounting supporting the reference element serving as a target and which is mountable on the shaft, is provided in the housing which supports the sensor and which is attachable to the stationary part. Removable locking elements provided between the mounting and the housing maintain the latter in an initial position when the locking elements are operative and, when inoperative, release the mounting mounted on the rotary shaft from the housing.
