  • Device to mechanically secure a magnetic linear position sensor
    Patent number: 7482801
    Abstract: The invention concerns a device to mechanically secure in position a magnetic linear position sensor that includes a support (4) equipped with detection cells that are sensitive to magnetic induction and a target slide (5) fitted with magnetic elements and mounted to slide on the support in relation to the detection cells. According to the invention, the device includes: mechanical locking resources (12) between the target slide and the support, in order to place the target slide in a reference position in relation to the support, and resources (13) for controlling the locking resources so that the latter can pass from a locked position to an unlocked position of the target slide (5) in relation to the support (4), and vice versa.
