Sensor assembly with a universal sensor module for sensing angular position of an object

摘要

A sensor assembly with a universal sensor module for sensing angular position of a rotatable object is provided. The universal sensor module includes a module housing. The sensor module further includes a rotatable assembly in the module housing configured to define a bore for interchangeably receiving one of the following: the rotatable object, and an interface adaptor for receiving the rotatable object. A bearing device allows rotational movement between a stationary assembly and the rotatable assembly. The sensor assembly is configured to accommodate an array of diverse sensing applications with the universal sensor module.
