Abstract
A position sensing assembly for sensing a position of a ferromagnetic element. The position sensing assembly includes a magnet creating a magnetic field. A position transducer is disposed within the magnetic field created by the magnet. A housing defines an interior for housing the magnet and the position transducer therein. The housing defines a housing body and a transducer protrusion extending out from the housing body. The position transducer is housed within the transducer protrusion allowing the position transducer to extend out and away from the magnet while maintaining a parallel orientation with the magnet.
