Abstract
A sensor includes a sensor core, a deviating component, and an aligning component. The sensor core has a cable that leaves the sensor core in essentially an exit direction, and a counter-structure. The aligning component has an aligning structure adapted to the counter-structure. The deviating component and aligning component define a final alignment of the cable in a direction different than the exit direction. The deviating component is pushed onto the sensor core. The aligning component is pushed laterally onto the sensor core in a mounting direction relative to the sensor core, and is engaged with the counter-structure of the sensor core.
Claims17
A sensor, comprising:
- a sensor core that includes:
- a cable that leaves the sensor core essentially in an exit direction;
- and
- a counter-structure;
- a deviating component that is push mounted on and engaged with the sensor core;
- and
- an aligning component that includes an aligning structure adapted to and engaged with the counter-structure and that is repositionable relative to the counter-structure in a plurality of different mounting directions relative to the sensor core that are transverse relative to the exit direction, the aligning component is laterally push mounted on the sensor core in one mounting direction of the plurality of different mounting directions;
- wherein the deviating component and the aligning component define a final alignment direction of the cable that is different from the exit direction.
A method of producing a sensor, comprising:
- mounting a deviating component onto a sensor core that includes (i) a cable leaving the sensor core essentially in an exit direction and (ii) a counter-structure;
- mounting an aligning component onto the sensor core and the deviating component by laterally pushing the aligning component in one mounting direction of a plurality of different mounting directions that are transverse relative to the exit direction, the aligning component having an aligning structure adapted to the counter-structure and being repositionable relative to the counter-structure in the plurality of different mounting directions;
- engaging the aligning structure with the counter-structure;
- and
- defining, via the alignment component and the deviating component, a final alignment direction of the cable that is different from the exit direction.
