  • Publication number: 20130187640
    Abstract: A position sensor coder of the type comprising a multipolar magnetic annulus (2) provided at its circumference with poles having polarities of opposite signs, the coder including at least one mark zone (Pi) presenting an angular width (Li) greater than the angular width of each of the alternating poles situated outside said zone around the circumference of the annulus, the coder being characterized in that said mark zone (Pi) comprises two adjacent singular poles (Ni, Si) presenting polarities of opposite signs and placed in the continuity of pole alternation in the annulus (2) and of angular width that is greater than the angular width of the poles lying outside the mark zone, the magnetization within the singular poles varying gradually in continuous manner between the two ends of the mark zone.

  • Patent number: 7388368
    Abstract: The object of the invention relates to an encoder for a position sensor, including at least one junction (J) between one so-called small pole (P) and one so-called large pole (G), having an angular width larger than the angular width of the small pole, the small pole (P) and the large pole (G) corresponding to each junction (J) having polarities of opposite signs, characterized in that, for each junction (J), the large pole (G) of a given sign consists: of at least one small stabilizing pole (ps) of the same sign placed adjacent to the small pole (P) of opposite sign and having an angular width substantially identical with that of said first pole, one the one hand and of at least one complementary pole (pc) of the same sign as the stabilizing pole (ps), the complementary pole (pc) and/or the small stabilizing pole (ps) having a gradual magnetization profile adapted for stabilizing the passing through zero gauss of the radial component of the magnetic induction, on the other hand.
