Abstract: A linear transducer includes a pair of electrical conductors and first and second transducer members. The electrical conductors are spaced apart along a reference axis. The first and second transducer members are positioned transversely adjacent to each other for relative axial movement. They form a magnetic path of high permeance about each of the electrical conductors. The first transducer member includes a magnetic flux source having a transversely oriented internal magnetic field vector. It extends axially between the electrical conductors to complete two variable magnetic flux circuits. One such flux circuit links each of the conductors. The second transducer member has a magnetic flux dividing separator to variably apportion magnetic flux from the flux source between the resulting magnetic flux circuits as the transducer members move axially relative to each other.
