SENSOR HOLDER, SENSOR ASSEMBLY COMPRISING SUCH A SENSOR HOLDER AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SUCH A SENSOR HOLDER

摘要

This sensor holder (1) for holding a sensor (2) adapted to sense the rotation speed of a rotatable element (40) with respect to a non-rotatable element (42) includes a housing (75) for receiving the sensor (2), and a spacer (5) which comprises a central tubular portion (51) for accommodating a shaft around which the rotatable element (40) rotates, and a washer (53) for sustaining an axial mounting load. The tubular portion (51) and the washer (53) of the spacer (5) are two distinct parts. The device is manufactured by overmolding a plastics body of the sensor holder over the cylindrically shaped tubular portion and finally mounting the washer in the plastics body, against a lateral end surface of the tubular body. In this way, the tooling for the injection molding process can be simplified.
