  • Patent number: 8330450
    Abstract: A magnetic position sensor consisting of a non-electroconductive, non-magnetic carrier on which a resistive layer is arranged, in addition to a pick-off layer which is located at a distance from the resistive layer and at least partially overlaps the same. The distance between the two layers is selected in such a way that contact is established between the two layers by a magnetic device that can be moved along the overlapping regions of the resistive layer and the pick-off layer. The pick-off layer is a film which consists of a ferromagnetic material and is electroconductive at least on one side. The pick-off layer is a film which consists of a ferromagnetic material and is electroconductive at least on one side.

  • Publication number: 20120242331
    Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor assembly (1), wherein according to the invention the magnet (3) is subdivided into at least three magnetic segments, wherein each magnetic segment has an individual north and south pole (N, S) and the sensor (4) is arranged outside the magnet (3) and, when the magnet (3) is moved, is in each case arranged directly opposite the magnetic pole of the respective magnetic segment and is located in the main flux direction of the magnetic field lines.

  • Publication number: 20110101966
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic position sensor (1) consisting of an electrically non-conductive, non-magnetic carrier (2), on which a resistive layer (3) and a tapping layer (4), which lies at a distance from and at least partially overlaps said resistive layer, are arranged. The distance is selected in such a way that under the action of a magnetic unit (5) that is moved along the regions of the resistive layer (3) and the tapping layer (4) lying above one another, said layers (3, 4) come into contact with one another. According to the invention, the tapping layer (4) is a foil consisting of an amorphous metal, upon which the force of the magnetic unit (5) acts.
