    Abstract: A position sensor includes a detector and a signal processor. The detector includes: a sensor chip having a surface; a first detection element disposed at the surface of the sensor chip; and a second detection element disposed at the surface of the sensor chip. The signal processor processes a signal input from the detector. The first detection element outputs a first detection signal corresponding to a position of a detection target, based on a change in a magnetic field received from the detection target. The second detection element outputs a second detection signal corresponding to the position of the detection target, based on the change in the magnetic field received from the detection target. A center of balance of the first detection element coincides with a center of balance of the second detection element.

    Abstract: The rotation sensor includes a plurality of magnetic sensors for outputting a sine wave signal and a cosine wave signal corresponding to an electrical angle of rotation of the rotating body, and the magnetic sensors are arranged at equal intervals and in a circumferential direction of the rotating body apart from the outer periphery of the rotating body, and are fixed in position so as to detect a change in magnetic field caused by the change in the rotational position of the rotating body due to the rotation of the rotating body. The rotation sensor includes an arithmetic unit, which receives sine wave signals and cosine wave signals from a plurality of magnetic sensors, and adds and subtracts sine wave signals and cosine wave signals according to a predetermined rule, thereby cancels out the high-order components contained in sine wave signals and cosine wave signals.

    Abstract: A position sensor includes a detector and a signal processor. The detector includes a magnet generating a bias magnetic field and a detection element configured to be applied by the bias magnetic field, and generates plural detection signals including distinct phase difference and corresponding to plural ranges aligned in one direction along a movement direction of a detection target, based on a change in a magnetic field received by the detection element from the detection target with a movement of the detection target having a magnetic body. The signal processor acquires the detection signals from the detector, compares the detection signals with a threshold value, and specifies a position of the detection target as a position at one of the ranges based on a combination of magnitude relation between the detection signals and the threshold value.

    Abstract: Magnets are arranged at intervals along a stroke direction with an interposed space. Magnetic pole surfaces of adjacent ones of the magnets have opposite poles. A detector is arranged with a gap in a gap direction against a magnetic pole surface of each of the magnets and acquires a sine signal and a cosine signal as detection signals of phases corresponding to the positions of the magnets, based on a change in a magnetic field received from the magnets according to movement of the detector relative to the detection object in the stroke direction. A signal processor acquires the sine signal and the cosine signal from the detector, generates, based on the sine signal and the cosine signal, an arctangent signal corresponding to a stroke amount of the detection object relative to the detector, and acquires the arctangent signal as a position signal.
