  • Publication number: 20250162470
    Abstract: A vehicle system arrangement is provided. The vehicle system arrangement includes a first body on which a scanning belt with a plurality of scanning elements is fixedly arranged and a second body, which is displaceable in the direction of movement relative to the first body. A linear path sensor is arranged on the second body, which interacts with the scanning belt. The vehicle system arrangement includes an evaluation unit which is designed to determine a linear position of the first body relative to the second body as a function of the sensor signal of the linear path sensor. The linear path sensor is fixedly mounted on the second body in the direction of movement and is displaceably mounted on the second body transversely to the direction of movement.

  • Publication number: 20220212571
    Abstract: A track for a vehicle seat comprising: a female rail; a male rail, mounted sliding relative to the female rail where the female rail comes to surround the male rail with a substantially flat wall of the female rail located across from a substantially flat wall of the male rail; a position sensor for the male rail relative to the female rail, received inside a case. The case is fixed to the male rail at least partially extending into the volume of the male rail, such that the position sensor is located across from the substantially flat wall of the female rail, after having been inserted and slid through at least one opening arranged in the substantially flat wall of the male rail.
