Rotational angle sensor holding system

A retaining system for a rotation angle sensor assembly for retention on a work machine, the rotation angle sensor assembly configured to detect an articulation angle at an articulated joint between two machine parts, the retaining system comprising:

• a first retaining element for coupling to a first of the two machine parts and comprising a rotation angle sensor of the rotation angle sensor assembly;
• and
• a second retaining element for coupling to a second of the two machine parts and comprising at least one position encoder element of the rotation angle sensor assembly corresponding to the rotation angle sensor,
• wherein the rotation angle sensor is configured to detect a rotation of the position encoder element relative to the rotation angle sensor,
• wherein the first retaining element is configured to guide the rotation angle sensor via a guide formed between the first retaining element and the second retaining element so as to be rotatable relative to the position encoder element on the second retaining element,
• wherein one of either the first or the second retaining elements comprises a groove as the guide, while the other of the first or the second retaining elements comprises at least one projection that engages in the groove,
• wherein one of either the first or the second retaining elements comprises at least two retaining element parts interlocked to the other of the first or the second retaining elements.
