Abstract

Disclosed are mountable sensor apparatus configured to measure a rotational speed of an axle of a power machine, as well as power machines including the sensor apparatus. The apparatus includes an encoder bearing sensor comprising an inner race configured to be secured to the axle of the power machine, an outer race, and bearings positioned between the inner race and the outer race and configured to allow rotation of the inner race relative to the outer race. A bearing carrier of the apparatus is connected to the outer race of the encoder bearing sensor, and a bracket is connected to the bearing carrier and mountable to a support structure of the power machine to prevent the bearing carrier and the outer race from rotating with the inner race and the axle. A sensor output line provides output signals indicative of rotational speed and direction of the axle.
