  • Sensor assembly
    Patent number: 6367366
    Abstract: A sensor assembly including a sensor mounted on the piston and a transmitter mounted on either the piston or cylinder. Preferably the transmitter includes a wheel which engages the wall of the cylinder so as to rotate as the piston reciprocates within the cylinder. The wheel includes one or more magnets which emit a magnetic field that is received by the sensor as the wheel rotates whereby the sensor provides a signal indicative of the rotation of the wheel. The sensor then sends the signal to a logic component which determines the direction, travel and position of the piston within the cylinder.
