Way sensor arrangement for a mechanical component and method for mounting the same

摘要

A way sensor arrangement ( 2 ) for detecting the displacement of a mechanical component in relation to another component. The way sensor arrangement having a sensor housing ( 4 ) that is firmly mounted to a first (gear case 6 ) of these two components and a sensor carriage ( 12 ) that interacts with the housing and can be coupled to the second component (shift rail 18 ). The invention provides that the sensor carriage ( 12 ) is mounted in the sensor housing ( 4 ) displaceably in the direction of displacement of the displaceable component (shift rail 18 ) and that mutually interacting coupling device (catch projection 14 , catch recess 16 ) are provided on the sensor carriage ( 12 ) and on. the second component (shift rail 18 ), which can mutually engage with each other.
