  • Rotary movement sensor equipped with means of assembly with a drive shaft designed to minimize the effects of a misalignment in the connection
    Patent number: 6252394
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting the angular position of a rotary drive shaft is disclosed which includes a stator, a rotor connected to the stator by a ball joint and including a moving target, and a drive shaft connected to the rotor. The moving target passes through a detection system and produces a signal as a function of its position. Variations in the sensor output signal due to misalignment of the rotor and the drive shaft are minimized by locating the moving target close to the axis of rotation of the ball joint.
