Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a first structure and a second structure disposed radially outwardly of the first structure. Also included is a sensor body extending through the first and second structures, the sensor body having first and second ends, the first end disposed proximate a first environment defined by the first structure and the second end located radially outwardly of the second structure. Further included is a first sealing assembly configured to operatively couple the sensor body to the second structure and to accommodate movement of the sensor body. Yet further included is a position sensor operatively coupled to the sensor body, the position sensor configured to determine a position of a target located within the first interior volume. Also included is at least one biasing member in contact with the target to bias the target into constant operative contact with the sensor body.
