Abstract: A system for monitoring landing gear position. An example rotation position sensor includes a hub mount that locks within a shaft of a joint, a first sensor attached to the hub mount, and a second sensor attached to the rotatably attached part that does not rotate. The hub mount includes a nut that has a partially tapered surface and a threaded cavity. The nut is secured within the shaft. The hub mount also includes a mounting unit that has a partially tapered surface that is in opposition to the partially tapered surface of the nut. A fastener secures the hub mount to the nut. In one example, the first sensor includes a magnetometer and the second sensor includes magnet(s). In another example, the first sensor includes inductor sensor(s) and the second sensor includes device(s) that causes a change in an inductance value of the inductor sensor(s) as the joint rotates.
