  • Method of manufacture of precision transducer for position measurements
    Patent number: 4237602
    Abstract: A precision transducer for position measurements comprises a pair of supports, one of which is movable with respect to the other. Each support is provided with an electric winding constituted by equidistant serially connected printed circuit conductors extending transverse to the direction of movement. The winding of one of the supports comprises a plurality of groups of conductors connected in series and intercalated with the conductors of the other group(s). Each group of conductors is printed on one face of a substrate, the other face of which bears auxiliary conductors connecting the conductors of the groups in series, through metallized holes formed through the substrate. The substrate is bonded to the said one support after the printing of the auxiliary conductors on the said other face, the groups of conductors being printed on the said one face after the substrate has been bonded to the support.

  • Transducer for measuring linear positions
    Patent number: 4117439
    Abstract: A transducer for measuring linear positions comprises a scale formed of a tensioned flexible band and a slide movable with respect to the scale. A rigid guide plate fast with the slide extends over the whole area of the slide winding and cooperates with a resilient plate having guide lugs at each end of the guide plate and so bent as to have lips bearing against two edges of the band. A leaf spring element on the resilient plate urges the lips against the side of the band opposite to the plate.
