Publication number: 20260177407Abstract: An incremental magnetic encoder includes a fixed body and a movable body. One of the bodies, referred to as the first body, includes a first toothed component extending in a longitudinal direction and a circumferential direction, one of the directions corresponding to a first encoding direction. The other body, referred to as the second body, includes a second toothed component defining a tooth made of magnetic or ferromagnetic material and arranged facing teeth of the first toothed component. A pair of magnetic coils are configured to measure each variation in inductance between the first toothed component and the second toothed component, to quantify each movement of the movable body along the first encoding direction.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2025Publication date: June 25, 2026Inventors: Mathieu BESNARD, Frédéric SANSON

Patent number: 12429361Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2023Date of Patent: September 30, 2025Assignee: THALESInventor: Mathieu Besnard
