The invention relates to a sensor assembly (10) for detecting rotation of a shaft about an axis of rotation (12), said sensor assembly having a housing (24) in which at least one magnetic field sensor (14) is arranged. The at least one magnetic field sensor (14) is designed to acquire a variation in a magnetic field generated by a magnet device (16) in the sensor assembly (10), which variation is associated with the rotation of the shaft about the axis of rotation (12). A shield device (30) arranged on the housing (24) is provided to shield the at least one magnetic field sensor (14) from the surroundings (28) of the sensor assembly (10). The shield device (30) can be removed from the housing (24), with the shield device (30) being retained on the housing (24) by means of a latching connection.

A mechanical sending unit base configured for integration with a hinge assembly, such as those used in hydraulic transom brackets like the Porta Bracket. The system can comprise a stationary component affixed to the hinge, a movable component configured to rotate in correspondence with the hinge's motion, and a converter that captures and translates this motion into digital signals. The movable component may include a protrusion received by a converter receptacle, enabling rotation about a shared central axis. The converter may include a sensor that translates arc-length movement into machine-readable data compatible with NMEA 2000 networks. The stationary component may comprise an aperture patterns for simplified, non-invasive mounting. As a result, the base enables real-time positional feedback of hinge motion without modifying existing hinge/product geometry and is suitable for marine environments due to its corrosion-resistant construction.
