  • Patent number: 4695795
    Abstract: A rotation sensor inlcudes circuitry for sensing both small units of rotation of a rotating body relative to a stationary body and a predetermined angular orientation of the former to the latter, and is designed to prevent electromagnetic interference between the rotation sensor circuitry (FG) and angular position sensor circuitry (PG). The FG circuit defines a full annular ring about the axis of the rotating body whereas the PG circuit covers a relatively narrow annular sector. The FG and PG circuits lie at different radial positions and do not overlap radially. Corresponding PG and FG magnetic rings fixed to the stationary body opposite the PG and FG circuits consist of annular sectors magnetized to alternating polarities. The symmetrical spacing of the FG magnetic sectors matches the angular spacing of FG circuit elements oriented perpendicular to the magnetic flux generated by adjoining magnetic sectors. The PG magnetic sectors match both the spacing and the total angular extent of the PG circuit.
