    摘要: A differential angle sensor for measuring a differential angle between an input shaft and an output shaft includes a target assembly fixed to rotate with one of the shafts and a ring magnet with equidistantly spaced magnet segments fixed to rotate with the other one of the shafts. The target assembly includes four identical targets extending about the common axis parallel and axially spaced apart from one another, and each having a plurality of wedge-shaped teeth extending radially toward the ring magnet. A first magnetic field sensor is disposed between first and second targets for measuring a first magnetic field strength therebetween. A second magnetic field sensor is disposed between third and fourth targets for measuring a second magnetic field strength. The targets are all circumferentially offset relative to one another such that the magnetic field strengths each vary with the differential angle between the shafts and differently from one-another.

    摘要: A rotary encoder may include a housing having an input-side portion and an output-side portion, and an internal cavity formed therein. The housing and its internal cavity can house a central shaft configured to transfer torque from an output shaft of a motor to an input shaft of a mechanical device such as a winch or a hoist. The housing and its internal cavity can house other components including printed circuit boards, an encoder disc, a ball bearing, and a seal.

    摘要: A sensor wheel for detecting the rotational position of a camshaft, elevations and depressions being developed along the circumference of the sensor wheel, which respectively form a segment, which may be detected by a sensor sensitive to magnetic fields when the sensor wheel is in motion, the sensor wheel comprising a long elevation, a medium length elevation and a short elevation as well as a long depression, a medium length depression and a short depression, the long elevation being as long as the long depression, the medium length elevation being as long as the medium length depression, the short elevation being as long as the short depression. The ratio of the length of the long elevation to the length of the medium length elevation is the same as the ratio of the length of the medium length elevation to the length of the short elevation.

    摘要: A position detection device includes a fixed element, a movable element, a plurality of first electrodes, a second electrode, a third electrode and a first detection circuit. The movable element is movable relative to the fixed element. The first electrodes are arranged on either the fixed element or the movable element, and the second electrode is on the other of the movable element or the fixed element. The first electrodes include two or more phases with electrical signals having mutually different phases. The third electrode is provided on the fixed element and opposing the electrode that is on the movable element while the movable element is in a prescribed position. The first detection circuit detects when the movable element is in the prescribed position based on electrical signals generated in the second and third electrodes in accordance with the electrical signals supplied to the first electrodes.

    摘要: The electromagnetic induction type encoder includes a detection head and a scale each having a substantially flat plate shape. The detection head and the scale are disposed opposed to one another and relatively move in a measurement axis direction. The scale includes a plurality of periodic elements formed of a conductor periodically disposed in the measurement axis direction. The plurality of periodic elements are coupled with a conductor. The detection head includes a transmitting coil wired so as to generate two or more eddy currents in directions opposite to one another in each of the plurality of periodic elements. The detection head includes a receiving coil. The receiving coil is electromagnetically coupled to magnetic fluxes generated by the plurality of periodic elements to detect phases of the magnetic fluxes.
