  • Patent number: 5600192
    Abstract: A support substrate having an array of magnetically responsive sensors is mounted within the housing of a brushless DC motor in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the motor shaft having commutating magnets thereon. A ferromagnetic flux concentrating member in the form of a generally planar disc having an annular rim with radially inwardly directed spokes is mounted to the support substrate. Each spoke has a radial gap therein. A magnetically responsive sensor is received within each radial gap. The gap may divide the spoke into two discrete gap segments, or may alternatively form an enclosed recess with generally radially extending sidebars along each lateral edge of the spoke.
