The first portion and the second portion respectively extend along the axial direction and the coil longitudinal direction parallel to the axial direction and at least a portion of each is aligned in an alignment direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The target includes a first target portion facing the first portion, and a second target portion facing the second portion. The induced voltage generated in the first portion changes according to a position of the first target portion relative to the first portion. The induced voltage generated in the second portion changes according to a position of the second target portion relative to the second portion.

    摘要: A position detection device detects a position of a moving member moving backward and forward in a predetermined moving direction. The position detection device includes an exciting coil disposed along the moving member and extending in the moving direction, a detection coil that outputs a voltage corresponding to a position of a detection target portion moving with the moving member by means of a magnetic field generated by the exciting coil within a predetermined detection range in the moving direction, and a calculation unit that calculates the position of the moving member by the output voltage of the detection coil. The detection coil includes a pair of coil elements whose output voltage changes according to the position of the moving member, and phases of the output voltages of the pair of coil elements during movement of the moving member within the detection range differ from each other.

    摘要: A load sensor is provided with a pressure-receiving core made of a magnetostrictive material on which a load to be detected acts, a non-pressure-receiving core made of a magnetic material concentrically arranged with the pressure-receiving core and on which the load to be detected does not act, a detection coil that generates a magnetic flux that passes through the pressure-receiving core by energizing, and a reference coil that, when energized, generates a magnetic flux that does not pass through the pressure-receiving core but passes through the non-pressure-receiving core.

    摘要: A position detection device configured to detect a position of a moving member that moves back and forth in a predetermined moving direction is provided with an exciting coil arranged to extend in the moving direction along the moving member, a detection coil that, by a magnetic field generated by the exciting coil, outputs a voltage corresponding to a position of a detection object portion moving together with the moving member within a predetermined detection range in the moving direction, and a calculation unit that determines the position of the moving member by calculation based on an output voltage of the detection coil. The detection object portion has a predetermined length in the moving direction, and a voltage is generated in the detection coil due to a difference in magnetic field intensity between a portion corresponding to the detection object portion and a portion not corresponding to the detection object portion. During movement of the moving member in one direction, the output voltage of the detection coil changes sinusoidally over the entire period between when the detection coil and at least a portion of the detection object portion begin to line up in a direction perpendicular to the moving direction and when the entire detection object portion becomes out of alignment with the detection coil in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction.
