An assembly includes a housing and a sensor supported by the housing. The assembly includes a deflector supported by the housing forward of the sensor. The deflector and the sensor define a spacing therebetween. The spacing is open to an ambient environment external of the housing. The deflector includes transparent material that permits light to pass through the deflector.

An apparatus for suspending a sensor element is provided. The apparatus can include a housing including a cavity, an inner surface, and a first end cap integrally formed within a first end of the housing. The housing can include a sensor element therein. The first end cap can include a first plurality of suspension elements integrally formed within the first end cap and arranged to project from a surface of the first end cap toward the cavity. The inner surface of the housing and/or the first plurality of suspension elements can suspend the sensor element within the cavity as the sensor element translates within the cavity. Related systems and methods of manufacture are also described.

A sensor assembly includes a housing defining a chamber. A sensor unit is supported by the housing and extends vertically upward along an axis from the housing. The sensor unit includes a base and a sensor housing mounted to the base and rotatable relative to the base about the axis. The sensor unit includes a sensor. The sensor housing extends circumferentially around the sensor and defines a sensor chamber therebetween. A blower box is supported by the housing in the chamber. The blower box defines a blower chamber in fluid communication with the sensor chamber. A blower is disposed in the blower box.

Self-cleaning sensor window devices for mine site equipment and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a self-cleaning sensor system includes a sensor housing having an opening, a sensor carried by the sensor housing, a self-cleaning window device coupled to the sensor enclosure and positioned at least partially within the opening. The self-cleaning window device comprises a window positioned forward of the sensor to allow the sensor to transmit and/or receive signals through the window, a cleaning assembly directed toward the window and configured to clean debris from the front surface of the window, and a controller operably coupled to the cleaning assembly. The controller can transmit control signals to the cleaning assembly to initiate cleaning of the front surface of the window.
