    摘要: In measuring the distance between a measuring sensor and a metallic body, the sensor is comprised by a resonance circuit including a capacitor and a coil, and the sensor is connected to the input of a Q multiplier circuit which is impressed with an AC signal having a predetermined frequency. The non-linear distance-inductance characteristic of the coil is compensated for by adjusting the selectivity of the resonance circuit so that the amplifier included in the Q multiplier circuit produces a linear output. Such compensation is performed by adjusting the gain and/or the amount of positive feedback of the Q multiplier circuit.

    摘要: A method for removing electrical runout in a machine shaft is disclosed. Electrical runout relates to electrical irregularities which can result from non-uniform electrical properties of the materials of the observed surface. A non-contacting eddy current proximity transducer is to be utilized and in which such a non-contacting eddy current proximity transducer is positioned to sense the portion of the shaft from which electrical runout is to be removed. The output of the transducer is sensed to provide an indication of the electrical runout to ascertain where the electrical runout is high and low as the shaft is rotated. The portions of surface of the shaft where the electrical runout is high is cold worked to change the resistivity and permeability of the observed material and bring electrical properties of the worked area in line with adjacent areas to cancel or to remove the electrical runout. In the apparatus, means is provided which performs a peening operation on the shaft to cold work the same.

    摘要: An electronic position encoder includes a scale comprising first and second pattern tracks including respective signal modulating scale patterns, a detector and a signal processing configuration. The detector includes first-track and second-track field generating coil portions that surround first and second interior areas aligned with the first pattern track and second pattern track, respectively. The first-track and second-track field generating coil portions each include first and second elongated portions extending along the measuring axis direction, connected to end portions extending along a y-axis direction transverse to the measuring axis. The detector includes sensing elements that span across the first and second interior areas along the y-axis direction. A nominal y-axis trace width dimension of the elongated portions is at least 0.1 times a y-axis width of the first and/or second interior areas. In various implementations, a shielded end section may be used to connect the elongated portions.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a sensor arrangement for the contactless sensing of angles of rotation on a rotating part includes a disk-shaped target, a coil arrangement, and an evaluation and control unit. The disc-shaped target is coupled to the rotating part and includes at least two metal surfaces that influence the inductances in the flat detection coils due to eddy current effects as a function of the degree of overlap. The disc-shaped target can generate at least one piece of information for ascertaining the instantaneous angle of rotation of the rotating part, in connection with the coil arrangement. The coil arrangement has has three flat detection coils uniformly distributed on the circumference of a circle. The evaluation and control unit can generate essentially sinusoidal evaluation signals which represent the changes in inductance of the detection coils and can evaluate them for calculating the angle of rotation.
