  • Exhaust gas temperature sensor with anti-resonance finned shaft feature
    Patent number: 9404809
    Abstract: A sensor assembly including a sensing element, a conductor connected to the sensing element, and an elongated shaft. The elongated shaft includes a proximal end, a distal end, an inner surface, an outer surface, and a plurality of spaced apart vibration dampers. The inner surface defines a throughbore extending from the proximal end to the distal end. The throughbore is configured to receive the conductor therethrough. The vibration dampers protrude from the outer surface and extend from the proximal end towards the distal end.
    Type: Grant
