    摘要: A means is provided for improving the magnetic permeability of a magnetic circuit within a variable reluctance sensor having off-set, permanent magnets by appropriately annealing the magnetic flux member. The annealing process includes heating the machined magnetic flux member in a vacuum to a temperature and for a duration sufficient to austenitize the magnetic steel so that full carbide solution is obtained, for example about 1300.degree. F. to about 1550.degree. F. for a duration of about 15 to 30 minutes. The magnetic flux member is then appropriately cooled in the vacuum so as to prevent the formation of martensite. The magnetic circuit, incorporating the annealed magnetic flux member, exhibited improved magnetic permeability, and the sensor signal was increased by as much as about 60 percent during operation. The method of this invention enhances the overall effectiveness of the sensor, particularly when sensing low rotational speeds such as when employed within automotive anti-lock braking or traction control systems.

    摘要: A variable reluctance rotation sensor comprises a rotatable magnetic toothed wheel adjacent a fixed magnetic pickup assembly. The pickup assembly comprises a pair of permanent magnets, each with a similar pole adjacent the wheel and separated circumferentially by the arc between a tooth and a non-adjacent slot. A magnetic flux member with a coil joins the other poles of the magnets in series opposed relationship and extends in close proximity to the tooth wheel to establish separate flux loops for each magnet distributed along the coil. The flux loops are spatially determined by the teeth and slots between the permanent magnets, so that they fluctuate circumferentially and generate an electrical signal in the coil with wheel rotation by variation of the flux linkages to individual turns of the coil. The sensor thus uses spatial flux changes to produce a rotation signal at very low rotational speeds with a larger air gap than that of conventional sensors.

    摘要: A variable reluctance rotation sensor comprising a flux member having a ferromagnetic pole piece formed of a cylindrical center portion interposed between a first and second end portion. Each of the end portions have a respective surface which contains elongated teeth, similarly separated by slots as teeth on the periphery of a toothed wheel. The cylindrical center portion is positioned with respect to the toothed wheel such that the toothed surfaces of the first and second end portions are positioned adjacent the periphery of the toothed wheel comprising the teeth and slots, the magnetic flux member and toothed wheel defining an air gap. The sensor further comprises permanent magnets which establish main flux loops traversing the air gap, and leakage flux loops linking an electrical coil wound about the cylindrical center portion. As the toothed wheel is rotated, the magnitude of the main flux loops vary in relation to the varying air gap. The leakage flux loops, in turn, vary in relation to the varying main flux loops, the varying leakage flux loops being linked to the electrical coil and resulting in a sinusoidal output voltage signal proportional to the varying leakage flux loops. Each cycle of the output signal corresponds to a predetermined incremental angular rotation of the toothed wheel.

    摘要: An integral variable reluctance sensor and bearing grease seal assembly (sensor assembly) has at least one magnet and an annular wire coil secured at the interior of a housing which seals an annular space between a dynamic inner race and a static outer race. The sensor assembly is characterized by a relatively large flux change and resulting large peak to peak periodic output due to exploitation of the outer race and housing as high permeance flux paths in the sensor magnetic circuit and an additive arrangement of plural magnets. Sensor output signal strength is variable in step with the number of magnets and output variations due to air gap variations are minimized by symmetrical distribution of the same. The sensor assembly is further characterized by a single dynamic seal and no moving parts.

    摘要: A variable reluctance rotation sensor comprises a rotatable toothed wheel and a magnetic pickup assembly comprising a pair of permanent magnets each having a pair of poles with an opposite one of said poles adjacent the toothed wheel. The permanent magnets are separated from each other by an arc equal to the arc between two of the teeth and joined by a magnetic flux member with a multi-turn electrical coil wound thereon. The flux member establishes a common main flux loop through the first and second permament magnets but also extends close to the toothed wheel to further establish additional flux loops separately through each of the permanent magnets. Passage of alternating teeth and slots as the wheel rotates produces a spatial fluctuation in the additional flux loops between the magnets to vary the flux linkages with individual coil turns and increase the electrical signal in the coil over the signal level that would be produced by variations in air gap of the common flux loop alone. The sensor produces a rotational speed signal at very low rotational speeds of greater amplitude and/or with a larger minimum air gap than that of conventional variable reluctance sensors.

    摘要: A power steering unit has an electromagnetic mechanism controlled by a computer-based controller for varying the steering effort in accordance with vehicle speed. The same controller is used to adjust the steering effort in accordance with a calibration value to obtain steering effort uniformity. The calibration value is obtained by applying a force to a vehicle wheel and measuring the resulting torque on the steering wheel (or vice versa) and comparing the resulting force to a standard. Any deviation from the standard is stored in the controller as a correction factor. Alternatively, the characteristics of the steering gear and the power steering pump are measured and encoded on the unit when manufactured and the encoded values are read after assembly in a vehicle and used to calculate the correction factor which is then stored in the controller.

    摘要: An actuator has a permanent magnet ring with a plurality of radially magnetized poles rotatably positioned between a pair of toothed pole pieces with interdigitated teeth, an electromagnetic coil and pole elements coupling the coil flux to the pole pieces. The pole pieces may themselves be rotatable or stationary. The permanent magnet circuit attempts to move the magnet ring to a first position relative to the pole pieces, and the electromagnetic circuit, depending on the direction of current in the coil, torques the magnet in one direction or another toward stable positions on either side of the first position. The device is used as a two or three position actuator or as an actuator operating against an external force and seeking a position as a function of current.

    摘要: A hydraulic power steering system having conventional relatively rotatable spool and valve body elements for flow regulation, a mechanically resilient element for generating a mechanical centering force in relation to the relative rotation of the spool and valve body which tends to restore the spool and valve body to a centered condition, and an integral electromagnetic mechanism which variably opposes the mechanical centering force to adjust the level of operator steering input required to produce a given level of power assist. The electromagnetic mechanism comprises an energized coil and a pair of flux conducting elements supported for rotation with the spool and valve body, respectively. The flux conducting elements have interleaved teeth which are magnetically coupled to the coil to define a magnetic circuit having an inter-tooth working air gap which varies with the relative rotation of the spool and valve body.
