The sensor for detecting the position of a generator element which outputs a position-dependent physical variable, the sensor includes a transducer for converting the physical variable into an electric generator signal, a circuit on a wiring support for receiving the generator signal from the transducer and outputting a measurement signal that corresponds to the generator signal and a protective compound which at least partially surrounds the transducer and the wiring support, thus retaining the transducer on the wiring support.

Protective compound-enveloped sensor for detecting the position of an encoder element

A method for producing a coil as a measurement transmitter for a sensor, including: providing electrical connections and a magnetic core for the coil, forming a coil former around the magnetic core in such a way that the magnetic core is at least partially enclosed by the coil former and the electrical connections are held by the coil former, winding at least one coil wire onto the formed coil former, and connecting the wound coil wire to the electrical connections.

Method for producing a coil as measuring pickup for a sensor

At least two partial magnets mechanically connected to each other. The length of each partial magnet runs in the main magnetisation direction of each partial magnet and/or in the main direction in which a partial magnet can be magnetised or in which its magnetisation is intended, and defines a first side and a second side as opposed regions at the ends of the partial magnet in respect of its length The at least two partial magnets are arranged in sequence in respect of their lengths and connected to each other. Deviations in the direction of the magnetisation and/or magnetisability of the first partial magnet deviating from the main magnetisation direction and/or main direction of magnetisability reduce and/or substantially compensate for the deviations in the direction of the magnetisation and/or magnetisability of the other or of the adjacent partial magnet deviating from the main magnetisation direction and/or main direction of magnetisability.

Correction of angle errors in permanent magnets

Displacement sensor arrangement including at least one primary coil, at least a first and a second secondary coil and at least one magnetically soft coupling element, which magnetically couples the primary coil and the two secondary coils, the displacement sensor being designed so that a position and/or deflection depending on the magnetic coupling between the primary coil and at least the first and second secondary coil is detected, the displacement sensor arrangement having a signal processing unit, which is designed to perform digital signal processing of at least one electrical variable of the two secondary coils and determine the position and/or deflection, the signal processing unit having at least one Goertzel filter.
