A sensor probe assembly. The sensor probe assembly includes a sensor probe body having a probe head and an elongated cylindrical probe shaft for housing a sensing element. An adapter attaches the probe body to a sensor location while allowing the sensor probe body to rotate with respect to the adapter. In the preferred embodiment, at least one resilient seal is located between the probe head and the adapter to prevent entry of dirt, oil and grease.

[ I claim:] [1.]1. An adapter for mounting a sensor probe body having a probe head and an elongated cylindrical probe shaft for housing a sensing element, said adapter comprising:(a) a generally cylindrical body having an aperture smaller in diameter than said probe head extending lengthwise for receiving said probe shaft;(b) means for attaching said adapter to a sensor location; and(c) means attached to said distal end of said probe shaft to prevent said probe shaft from being withdrawn through said body aperture, wherein said means attached to the distal end of said probe shaft includes a generally cylindrical nose piece having a diameter greater than said body aperture, thereby permitting rotation of said sensor probe body with respect to said adapter.
