Patent ID: 7855551

Claim:
A position sensor according to a non-contacting magnetic functional principle, in an enclosed sticks design for use in fluids, said sensor comprising: a sensor-stick-housing ( 2 ) being connected with a sensor-head-housing ( 3 ) to form a sensor housing; a sensor unit including functional components of the position sensor and being located in the sensor housing; processing electronics ( 20 ) or a connection element to the outside being located in the sensor-head-housing; a cable running out of the sensor-head-housing ( 3 ) through a cable outlet ( 4 ) or a connector ( 5 ); an axial seal or radial circumferential seal ( 7 ) on the outside of the sensor-head-housing ( 3 ) and/or the sensor-stick-housing ( 2 ); and a sensor-head-cover ( 8 ) for closing the sensor-head-housing ( 3 ) on a front face pointing away from the sensor-stick-housing ( 2 ); said sensor-head-cover ( 8 ) has the shape of a cap with a hollow dome ( 8 a ) extending axially outwards and having a smaller diameter than an outside diameter ( 12 ) of the sensor-head-housing ( 3 ); and wherein in said sensor-head-housing ( 3 ), an internal dish ( 19 ) is located, opened toward said head cover, and said processing electronics ( 20 ) are located and encased tight, and wherein the internal dish ( 19 ) can be removed from said sensor-head-housing ( 3 ).
