  • Patent number: 12548724
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic push-button (10) comprises a fixed body and a body which is movable with respect to the fixed body along an axis of movement (X); one of the bodies, called first body (21), comprising: a magnetic element extending along the axis of movement (X) and defining a magnetic alternation along the axis of movement; the other body, called second body (22), comprising: a notching tooth made of ferromagnetic or magnetic material arranged opposite the magnetic element so as to create a push force by magnetic cooperation with the magnetic element, during a movement of the movable body (21) along the axis of movement (X); a magnetic detector placed opposite the magnetic element and configured for generating measurements quantifying each movement of the movable body along the axis of movement (X).

  • Patent number: 12429361
    Abstract: An incremental magnetic encoder is provided which defines an encoder axis and which as a fixed body and a body movable with respect to the fixed body along at least a first direction of encoding. One of the bodies, called first body, has a first ring extending along a first longitudinal direction coinciding with an encoder axis and a first circumferential direction perpendicular to the first longitudinal direction, and defining a magnetic alternation along the first direction of encoding. The other body, called second body, has at least one first notching tooth made of ferromagnetic or magnetic material arranged opposite the first ring, and a first pair of magnetic sensors arranged opposite the first ring and configured for quantifying each movement of the movable body along the first direction of encoding.

  • Publication number: 20250102330
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an incremental magnetic encoder (10) defining an encoder axis (X) and comprising a fixed body and a movable body. One of the bodies, called the first body (21), comprises a first support (33) comprising N arranged magnetic elements. The other body, called second body (22), comprises: a second support (41) comprising K*M magnetic elements arranged inhomogeneously along the direction of encoding (C1, C2) opposite the N magnetic elements, the K*M magnetic elements forming M groups of K magnetic elements, initial elements of the M different groups being spaced apart along the direction of encoding (C1, C2) by a homogeneous pitch P1, the K?1 magnetic elements of each group being spaced apart from the initial magnetic element of said group by variable pitches Pi; at least one magnetic detector arranged opposite the first support (33).
