  • Sensor device for measuring the position of an element
    Patent number: 11740105
    Abstract: A sensor device for measuring a rotational position of an element that is rotatable about an axis of rotation includes a sender member emitting a magnetic field, a first receiving member formed by a first conductor and receiving the magnetic field, and a second receiving member formed by a second conductor and receiving the magnetic field. The first receiving member and the second receiving member are arranged within an annular ring segment having a period along a circumferential direction about the axis of rotation. The first conductor and the second conductor each define a plurality of loops. A shape of each of the loops follows in the circumferential direction a base function with half the period, the shape of only some of the loops deviates from the base function by a correction function.

  • Sensor device for measuring the rotational position of an element
    Patent number: 11441885
    Abstract: A sensor device for measuring a rotational position of an element that is rotatable about an axis of rotation includes a sender member emitting a magnetic field and a plurality of receiving members receiving the magnetic field. Each of the receiving members has a pair of conductors that together delimit a pair of surrounded areas. Each of the surrounded areas tapers in and against a circumferential direction at ends of the surrounded areas.

  • Sensor Device and Sensor Assembly For Measuring The Rotational Position of an Element
    Publication number: 20210325483
    Abstract: A sensor device arranged at a stator measures a rotational position of an encoder member arranged at a rotor. The encoder member is rotatable about an axis of rotation. The sensor device includes a sender member arranged at the stator and emitting a magnetic field and a receiving member receiving the magnetic field. The receiving member has a plurality of adjacent sensor areas arranged along a circumferential direction about the axis of rotation in a plane opposing the encoder member.
