METHOD FOR MOUNTING AN ANGULAR DISPLACEMENT DETECTOR AND DETECTION DEVICE PROVIDED WITH CORRESPONDING MOUNTING MEANS

摘要

The aim of the present invention is to ensure the absence of friction between a housing (2) supporting the sensor (3) and a mounting (4) arranged to support the target (5), as well as the absence of load take-up resulting from the contact and lack of precision among mounting interfaces. For this purpose, the invention involves forming, in a mounting position, a clearance between the mounting (4) and the housing (2) and then releasing the target mounting in the operative position of the sensor. According to the invention, a cylindrical recess (10), for freely receiving, with a clearance, the mounting (4) which supports the reference element serving as a target (5) and which is capable of being mounted on the shaft (17), is provided in the housing (2) which supports the sensor (3) and which is capable of being attached to the stationary part (16). Removable locking means (18) provided between the mounting and the housing maintain the latter in an initial position when the locking means are operative and, when inoperative, release the mounting (4) mounted on the rotary shaft (17) from the housing (2) that is rigidly connected to the stationary part by separating the mounting and the housing from each other.
