Analog sensor for contact-free angular offset sensing
First Claim
1. Contactless analog sensor of angular offset, of the magnetic inductance type, characterized in that it comprises:
- a first portion forming a detector (1), comprising at least one substrate plate (3) carrying at least one flat spiral winding (4), at least one core layer (8) of a material of high magnetic permeability and low saturation field, on at least a portion of said winding, the detector being adapted to coact with a device for processing the electric signal measured at the terminals of the winding, two rotors (15, 15′
) each comprising at least one magnet (18, 18′
), disposed along a predetermined angular sector, the rotors being movable about a same axis (17) identical to the axis of the winding, each magnet generating in the plane of the core layer (8) a magnetic field of a value greater than the saturation field of said core layer over at least a portion of the surface of the winding.
