Claim:
Sensor assembly in a gearbox which is used for positioning, where the sensor assembly comprises a sensor ( 20 ) fixed relative to a gearbox housing ( 18 ), characterized in, that the angle between the gearbox housing ( 18 ) and an output shaft ( 26 ) of the gearbox ( 14 , 16 ) is measured using a shaft ( 28 ) fixed to the output shaft ( 26 ) and connected to the sensor ( 20 ), and that the sensor assembly comprises a control system which receives information about the actual angle between the gearbox ( 14 , 16 ) and the output shaft ( 26 ) and reduces the power to a motor ( 22 ) of the gearbox ( 14 , 16 ) when the gearbox ( 14 , 16 ) approaches a pre-programmed end position.
