Abstract: A mounting system for mounting a sensor assembly to a pair of rotatable members coupled by an articulation joint includes a sensor mounting plate. The sensor mounting plate is coupled to a first rotatable member and supports at least one sensor element thereon such that the at least one sensor element is in alignment with an axis of the articulation joint. The mounting system also includes a target mounting plate that is disposed in a spaced-apart manner from the sensor mounting plate. The target mounting plate has a target mounting portion for supporting the target element thereon, and a support arm extending from the target mounting portion. Further, the mounting system also includes a post having a first end configured to couple with the second rotatable member and a second end that is configured to adjustably support the support arm of the target mounting plate via an adjustment block.
