Abstract
A method of making a machine system includes assembling sensing elements with a sensor frame, and contacting ferrite cores of the sensing elements with a locating tool to conform an arrangement of the sensing elements to a cylindrical shape of a surface of the locating tool. The sensing elements are secured to the sensor frame in the determined arrangement, and coupled with a housing of a machine system to monitor position of a rotatable component therein. The ferrite cores may be E-type cores, with bridge connections used to sensitize the sensing mechanism to displacement of a rotatable component in X, Y, and Z directions.
