Title:
MULTI-PERIODIC ABSOLUTE POSITION SENSOR
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/004120
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a magnetic position sensor comprising at least one permanent magnet. The invention also relates to a magnetic device for detecting a torque between a first shaft and a second shaft that are connected via a torsion bar. The aim of the invention is to provide a device for determining the multi-periodic absolute position of a magnetized unit. The subject of the invention is therefore a magnetic position sensor (A) comprising at least the following: a magnetized unit (1), a first magnetosensitive probe (2) and a second magnetosensitive probe (3). The second magnetosensitive probe (3) is capable of measuring a number of complete rotations of the magnetic field in an absolute, incremental and reversible manner so as to determine a second datum relating to the position of the magnet (1), whether or not this second magnetosensitive probe (3) is powered. The sensor further includes a module for calculating the absolute position of the magnet (1) on the basis of the first and second data coming from the first and second probes (2, 3) respectively.
