Agreed. A thought I've just had is that since the system we are discussing involves a position sensor separate from the gearmotor, there is no overriding reason to attach the sensor directly to the motor output. The sensor could be connected to the steering assembly directly instead. The gearmotor could then be attached to the steering via a slip clutch assembly. Any shocks to the steering would be absorbed in the slip clutch thus avoiding damage to the gearmotor. On the sensor mounting, one would need to ensure the travel of the steering assembly does not exceed the throw of the sensor which would damage it.
