  • Patent number: 11945422
    Abstract: A pressure sensor for a brake booster includes a housing that receives a pressure sensor element and which has a first fluid connection, via which the pressure sensor can be connected to the brake booster. The housing has a second fluid connection with a receiving opening which at least partly receives a flow valve and a connection socket for a vacuum pump, wherein the flow valve releases the flow of fluid in the direction of the vacuum pump and blocks the flow of fluid in the opposite direction. The flow valve is designed as a membrane insert and is inserted into the receiving opening.

  • Patent number: 9927260
    Abstract: A sensor assembly for ascertaining the path of a moved part includes a magnetic measuring assembly and a fixed sensitive measure element. The magnetic measuring assembly has a magnetic field with at least one spatial component that is changed by the movement of the part along the path to be ascertained. The position of the moved part is detected in relation to the fixed sensitive measuring element. The magnetic field is generated by at least one effective magnet connected to the moved part, and at least one support magnet arranged in a fixed manner in the measuring region of the sensitive measuring element.

  • Patent number: 9441989
    Abstract: A position encoder includes a sensor unit and an encoder unit configured to follow a motion of a lever by means of a pusher so as to enable the sensor unit to capture said motion. The encoder unit and the sensor unit include separate housings connected to each other. The connection between the housings of the encoder unit and the sensor unit is implemented by means of a hollow riveted connection with at least one fastening element configured to be guided into the hollow space thereof.

  • Publication number: 20150323346
    Abstract: Movement of an object causes a change in at least one magnetic variable. A magnetic measuring arrangement configured to detect motion of the object includes at least one permanent magnet and at least one sensor element configured to detect the magnetic variable. The permanent magnet and sensor element are configured and arranged at a distance from each other so as to be relatively movable. The change in the magnetic variable detected by the sensor element can be evaluated to determine at least one of an angle of rotation and a position of the object. A sensor arrangement includes such a magnetic measuring arrangement and at least one shield element formed from a magnetically conductive material and configured and arranged such that the shield element encloses at least one of the permanent magnet and the sensor element, at least in part.

  • Publication number: 20150211890
    Abstract: A sensor arrangement for detecting angles of rotation on a rotated component, comprising a measurement value transmitter having at least one permanent magnet with magnetic north and south pole regions and which is arranged at a specified first radial distance to the rotational axis of the rotated component, and comprising a measurement value sensor, which comprises at least one sensor element for detecting at least one magnetic variable, said sensor element being arranged at a specified second radial distance to the rotational axis of the rotated component. A movement of the rotated component causes a change of the at least one magnetic variable, which can be evaluated in order to ascertain the rotational angle. The permanent magnet is polarized in a circumferential direction along a circular arc about the rotational axis or tangentially thereto, and a magnetic vector is generated on a detection plane perpendicular to the magnet surface.
