Abstract: A knitting machine part comprises a plurality of tool guides, each for one knitting tool. Each tool guide has a hardened region. The majority of the hardened regions are formed to be integral without seams or joints which transition integrally into adjacent, non-hardened regions. At least one hardened region of the knitting machine part is formed by a non-integral region, in that a hardened, separate component is arranged there, which forms the non-integral hardened region. The component can be designed as an insert part and inserted in a receptacle recess. The integral regions are preferably formed by induction hardening of a knitting machine part which is not yet hardened, wherein a separate hardened component can be arranged in each insufficiently hardened region in order to provide a hardened, non-integral region.

Abstract: In a magnetic sensor device, a positioning element is provided with receptacles for receiving one magnetic field sensor element each. The positioning element and the magnetic field sensor elements are manufactured in a way that they fit exactly together so that the positioning element exactly positions the sensor elements with respect to each other. The magnetic field sensor elements may be manufactured separately before they are put together to build the magnetic field sensor device.

Abstract: In a magnetic field sensor device, a positioning element is provided with receptacles for receiving one magnetic field sensor element each. The positioning element and the magnetic field sensor elements are manufactured in a way that they fit exactly together so that the positioning element exactly positions the sensor elements with respect to each other. Manufacturing of the device is made easy and cost effective by the opportunity to manufacture the magnetic field sensor elements separately before they are put together to build the magnetic field sensor device.
