  • Combined position and sensor system
    Patent number: 12680837
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a combined position and sensor system comprising a stator part and rotor part, where the stator part has an AC voltage source and the rotor part is powered by inductive coupling between the stator and rotor part, and where the rotor part comprises sensor component(s), and sensor data is transmitted from the rotor part to the stator part via inductive coupling. Furthermore, a signal, which is dependent on the relative position of the stator and rotor part, is based on inductive coupling between elements on the stator and rotor. Additionally, the disclosure relates to an electric vehicle comprising the combined position and sensor system and to a method of regulating power provided by a motor control system for an electric vehicle comprising an electric motor, where the electric vehicle further comprises a combined position and sensor system.
