MOLDED IN MAGNETIC SENSOR AND SYSTEMS, ASSEMBLIES, COMPONENTS, AND METHODS THEREOF

Systems, assemblies, and methods can involve a retainer assembly (50, 150, 250) adapted to interface with a sensor rod (35) of an in-cylinder position sensor assembly (30) of a fluid cylinder (10). The retainer assembly (50, 150, 250) can comprise an annular body (60, 160, 260) that defines a bore (61, 161, 261) extending from a first end of the annular body (60, 160, 260) to a second end of the annular body (60, 160, 260) opposite the first end; a sleeve (70, 170, 270) disposed in the bore (61, 161, 261) at an inner wall of the annular body (60, 160, 260); and one or more magnets (80, 180, 280) fixedly provided between the annular body (60, 160, 260) and the sleeve (70, 170, 270) in a radial direction of the annular body (60, 160, 260). Each of the one or more magnets (80, 180, 280) may be fixedly molded in place between the annular body (60, 160, 260) and the sleeve (70, 170, 270) in the radial direction of the annular body (60, 160, 260).
